A driver who was asleep at the wheel rammed head-on into an Amazon van parked outside a Texas home, leading the delivery worker to limp away in utter shock, harrowing video shows.
A doorbell camera in Mineral Wells captured the moment Dashon Hollman, a new Amazon driver, was finishing up a delivery on Tuesday when a passenger car careened off course and slammed directly into his van, Fox News reported.
The collision left the front of both cars totaled, with Hollman, a father-of-two, immediately running out of the van and limping before falling to the ground.
The stunned driver could then be seen getting back up and joining neighbors and passersby to check on the driver of the car that crashed into him.
The driver was identified as Micah Meeks, who Mineral Wells Police said had fallen asleep at the wheel while returning from work.
“Officers on scene were told the at-fault driver had been at work that morning and was taking the car to drop it off with someone else,” police said in a statement. “A co-worker was following him when the accident occurred.”
Officials noted that Meeks was also driving without a valid license. There was no indication that Meeks was speeding or under the influence of an illegal substance, police added.
Meeks was given a citation over the crash.
Both Hollman and Meeks were treated at the scene for minor wounds, with Hollman later going to the hospital due to his injured knee.
Homeowner Kristy Miller, whose doorbell camera recorded the crash, said that even after being hit, Holloman appeared more worried about her package than himself.
“Did you get your package,” Holloman allegedly asked her when she went outside to check up on him, Miller told Fox.
“We’re thankful both drivers are safe and appreciate the customer’s concern and immediate assistance after this incident,” Amazon said in a statement.
