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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
A DoorDash driver got the job done despite being hit by a car during a nearby police chase. Cameras captured the moment she was hit, along with the suspect’s arrest.<\/p>\n
After hitting the woman, the suspect flees on foot from Houston Police Department officers toward a backyard that is outside the camera’s view.<\/p>\n
The delivery driver takes a moment to recover before carrying the food to the doorstep of the house where she parked.<\/p>\n
The neighbor who shared the video told ABC13’s Miya Shay that she was amazed the delivery was completed after the woman was hit.<\/p>\n
Another neighbor who spoke with ABC13 shared a video of the suspect’s arrest that happened in his backyard.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Whitaker was charged with aggravated assault in connection with the collision with the delivery driver.<\/p>\n
