Torrance Whitaker Arrested in Frightening Crash on Northborough Drive [Houston, TX]

Houston, TX (July 12, 2026) — A DoorDash driver suffered injuries after a crash on Northborough Drive when 34-year-old Torrance Whitaker struck her with a vehicle during a police chase in Houston, but she still completed her food delivery before seeking further assistance.

The incident happened as Houston police pursued a gray sedan driven by Whitaker, who was reportedly fleeing an attempted traffic stop. Surveillance cameras captured the moment the sedan hit the delivery driver as she was preparing to deliver an order.

After the crash, Whitaker abandoned the vehicle and ran through several residential backyards before officers, assisted by a police K-9, arrested him.

Despite the impact, the injured driver recovered briefly and delivered the customer’s order. She later said she was in significant pain but did not suffer any broken bones. She is also considering filing an insurance claim related to the incident.

Authorities said Whitaker was wanted in connection with a burglary investigation and now faces an aggravated assault charge stemming from the collision.

Do The Right Thing. Stay. Help. Take Responsibility.

A hit-and-run is not just a crime but a devastating act of cowardice, leaving victims injured, scared, and sometimes fighting for their lives. If you’re involved in a traffic accident, stop immediately. Call 911. Help those who are hurt.

Remember that fleeing the scene only worsens the situation and carries serious legal consequences, including felony charges. Victims deserve accountability and justice.

Police pursuits can create unexpected dangers for innocent bystanders. Drivers should remain alert when emergency vehicles are nearby, and anyone involved in a crash should seek medical evaluation, even if injuries appear minor, as some symptoms may develop later.
