ALDINE, Texas A one-year-old girl is now dead after reportedly being hit by an Uber driver who ran her over while dropping her and her family members off.
The accident happened around 12:40 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of an apartment complex along Waverly Drive in Aldine.

The Harris County Sheriffs Office says the Uber driver dropped off the passengers, including three adults and a one-year-old girl.

As the adults walked towards the apartment complex and out of the vehicles pathway, the toddler was walking in front of the gray Volkswagen SUV.

When the Uber driver saw the female adult clear at a couple of feet, he began driving forward to turn around, accidentally rolling over the child, said Lt. K Benoit of the Harris County Sheriffs Office.

The family tried rescuing the girl and driving her to the hospital. They flagged down an emergency vehicle nearby, which then took the girl to the hospital where she later died.

In the moments after the child was run over, family members opened the SUVs doors and assaulted the driver.

Hes in serious condition. You know, non-life threatening, but serious, Benoit said.

Hearing the commotion outside, neighbors started walking out on their porches to see what was happening. This includes Simya Washington, whose security camera captured the entire incident unfold.

I just heard a lot of commotion outside, and I just came outside, and I just seen, like, blood and a baby laying on the ground, Washington said. It was just so traumatic, because I was just thinking about my baby, you know, my son or anybody else kids it was just so, I couldnt do, I couldnt even.

The driver is being treated for his injuries.

Meanwhile, the Harris County Sheriffs Office has not filed any charges against either the driver or those who assaulted him.

At this time, no charges have been filed, Benoit said. But however, it is still under investigation. There could be charges a couple of different ways.

The driver has been identified as Muhammad Khan. The identity of the girl has not yet been released.
