Texas DoorDash driver gets hit by a car fleeing from police and still delivers the order

A Texas DoorDash driver didn’t let the pain of being struck by a car keep her from delivering an order. A less dedicated driver may have seen the police chase headed their way, hopped back in their car, and canceled the order.

This heroic delivery driver did not. She was knocked onto the hood of the car driven by an alleged burglary suspect who refused to stop during an attempted traffic stop.

Understandably, she dropped the order. But only for a moment.

While the suspect, identified by police as Torrance Whitaker, was fleeing from the car and making a run for it, the DoorDash driver slid off the hood and picked up the order which had landed in the street in front of the car.

She then proceeded to complete the delivery while officers gave chase to the man now jumping fences and running through the yards of the Houston neighborhood.

“I was on the phone with my husband, and I just hear somebody crash. So I’m like, wait a minute, I heard something from police. When he came out from my door, I think it was HPD parked on my mulch, like what happened here!,” witness Lily Portillo, whose cameras caught the action, told KTRK.

“It’s amazing how the girl just delivered the food. I asked her if she was OK, and she said she was OK. She needs a big tip. I really hope somebody finds her and hope she’s OK.”

After being chased through several yards, a Houston Police K-9 eventually catches up to him, and he’s arrested.

The court documents, according to the outlet, state that Whitaker was charged with aggravated assault for hitting the delivery driver with his car while fleeing from police.

KTRK spoke with the DoorDash driver. She, like the hero that she is, didn’t want to be identified. She is in a lot of pain, but avoided breaking any bones. She’s also looking into filing a claim against the suspect’s insurance.

What a story of dedication. This order was being delivered if the delivery driver was physically able to do so.

There’s very little hesitation. It’s more of a moment to collect herself, then she’s back to the business at hand. Truly impressive work.
