An Alicante taxi driver is recovering at home from the traumatic ordeal she suffered last Saturday after two passengers who she had picked up in Alicante City kept her at the wheel of her vehicle, driving for 200 kilometres, before she managed to escape. The 34 year old man and an underage youth were armed with a jamón serrano knife, an axe and a harpoon. They stole her takings and forced her to reveal her PIN number to pull over at a cash machine where they withdrew 600 € from her bank account. Named by Diario Información as Yolanda, a taxi driver with eight years’ experience, she was forced to continue driving for three hours while her passengers sat smoking cannabis joints in the back. She had managed to activate her distress alarm and the vehicle was tracked by its GPS system until it was intercepted in El Campello by the Civil Guard, where the taxi driver braked to a sudden stop and managed to escape the vehicle unhurt.
