‘They left me for dead’: DoorDash delivery man critically injured by hit-and-run driver

WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Aaron Ayres, a Door-Dasher and Waco resident, survived a hit-and-run accident on his motorcycle and is asking the driver who failed to stop and render aid to come forward.

The collision happened shortly before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21. Waco police say the driver has not yet been identified.

Police told KWTX Ayres was traveling west down the 2000 block of Mountainview Dr. on his motorcycle when an unknown driver, traveling north on the 5900 block of Morningside Dr., failed to yield the right of way.

The driver performed a “rolling stop” at the intersection, continued straight into Ayres and his motorcycle, and then drove off without a stop.

“They left me for dead,” Ayres said. “There’s a lot of cyclists here. There’s a lot of pedestrians. You can kill somebody. You almost killed me.”

Waco police say the driver of the small SUV left the scene before officers arrived.

Ayres has no recollection of the event, besides that of what witnesses have told him.

Ayres survived with eight staples in his head, some cracked ribs and a concussion, but he says he is lucky to be alive.

“They gave me a CT scan and all that stuff, x-rays, things like that,” Ayres said. “I don’t remember any of this.”

Ayres has been a Door Dash deliverer for about a year now, and he says reckless driving like this is a daily sight. He says he has come close to being hit an outrageous number of times, but this time, it came true.

As of now, Waco PD says they have not found the driver responsible.
