Sam Kerr’s Terrifying Taxi Ride: Football Star Reveals Life-Threatening Ordeal in Court

Sam Kerr described a terrifying taxi ride in which the driver locked the doors and windows, swerved, and sped dangerously after she became sick. She said her life was in danger, and her partner, Kristie Mewis, tried to escape by kicking the window.

Kerr, the Australian football captain, was giving evidence in a trial where she is accused of racially aggravated harassment. She denies the charges, which stem from a confrontation with a police officer following the taxi incident.

Kerr revealed her past experiences with racism, both in school and as an adult, which influenced her fears during the ride. She also discussed her relationship with Mewis, whom she met in 2020, and their upcoming wedding and pregnancy.
