DoorDash driver completes food delivery after being struck by fleeing suspect, video shows
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A DoorDash driver has earned a five-star review after completing a food delivery despite being struck by a vehicle in Houston.
A video shared exclusively with Eyewitness News shows the moments the woman was struck by a car driven by a fleeing suspect in the Greenspoint area on Wednesday evening.
After hitting the woman, the suspect flees on foot from Houston Police Department officers toward a backyard that is outside the camera's view.
The delivery driver takes a moment to recover before carrying the food to the doorstep of the house where she parked.
The neighbor who shared the video told ABC13's Miya Shay that she was amazed the delivery was completed after the woman was hit.
Another neighbor who spoke with ABC13 shared a video of the suspect's arrest that happened in his backyard.
Court documents show the suspect, Torrence Whitaker, 34, was wanted for burglary and was fleeing from police after an attempted traffic stop in the 13000 block of Northborough Drive.
According to court documents, Whitaker was charged with aggravated assault in connection with the collision with the delivery driver.
It was not immediately clear if he was facing any additional charges related to the police pursuit.
Eyewitness News spoke with the driver, who did not want to be identified, who said she's in a lot of pain, but thankfully has no broken bones. She confirmed she was working as a DoorDash driver at the time of the incident and said she is looking to file a claim against Whitaker's car insurer.
