Blacked-Out Drunk Man Takes $1,635 Uber From West Virginia to New Jersey

When his driver woke him up two hours into the more than 300-mile journey to New Jersey, Kenny Bachman says he didn't know what was happening or who the driver was

A New Jersey man who got drunk in West Virginia and mistakenly ordered a $1,635 Uber ride back to his home state says the experience was "crazy."

Kenny Bachman thought he was taking an Uber to where he was staying near West Virginia University's campus, NJ.com reported Wednesday.

But when his driver woke him up two hours into the more than 300-mile journey to New Jersey, Bachman says he didn't know what was happening or who the driver was.

The trip was made more expensive because Bachman gave the driver money for tolls and ordered an UberXL, which can hold up to six passengers.

He says he tried to challenge the fare with Uber but ended up paying it.

Bachman gave his driver five stars.
