A Texas toddler died in the hospital after she was accidentally run over by an Uber driver as she walked in front of the car after a trip. 

The incident took place on Sunday around 1pm in an apartment complex on Waverly Drive in Houston as two children and two adults were dropped off by an Uber.  

An adult and a six-year-old exited the silver Volkswagen Atlas on the driver's side as the other adult stepped out from the passenger's side. 

As they walked in front of the car, the toddler was seen steps behind before she walked in front of the vehicle and was hit by the driver, Muhammad Khan.

As Khan tried to break her free, the passengers who witnessed the horrid incident ran inside and came back out with a larger group who then attacked the driver.   

He was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. No charges or arrests have been made but the incident is bein investigated, including the assault. 

A one-year-old girl was run over by Uber driver Muhammad Khan around 1pm on Sunday in an apartment complex on Waverly Drive in Houston, Texas 

A neighbor who witnessed the accident told KHOU 11 that he 'tried to save her' as he rushed over and placed the little girl in his car to take to the hospital. 

Surveillance video of the horrific tragedy was captured on another neighbor, Simya Washington's, Ring camera. 

The video shows a silver Volkswagen Atlas pull into a parking lot in the complex and stop to drop the passengers off. 

An adult and child then exit the vehicle from the driver's side while the other adult steps out of the passenger's side. The toddle is then seen trailing behind as she makes her way to the front of the car. 

Khan, who didn't see the girl, then put the SUV in drive, moved forward and hit the one-year-old. 

'Mr. Khan stopped the vehicle, but the juvenile was stuck under the left rear tire. Mr. Khan attempted to move the vehicle but was unsuccessful due to all parties assaulting him and pulling him from the vehicle,' a statement from the Harris County Sheriff's Office said. 

The little girl is seen just moments before the driver hit her with the car as the other passengers walk away 

After he realized he ran her over, Khan tried to break her free as a group of family members stormed over and repeatedly hit him. He was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries

Video then shows the moments after the girl got pinned under the car, as some witnesses run to help and others come back with a large group of people who immediately start to hit Khan. 

Several people pull him out of his car and repeatedly punch him. 

Police said that family members were there at the time of the incident, but they had to inform the child's parents of what happened to her. 

'I seen a baby on the ground bleeding with a bunch of people hollering. The first thing I said was just give me the keys because I don't want to wait on no ambulance,' a neighbor said. 

The family managed to get the girl in the car and met an ambulance nearby and she was treated at a gas station. 

She was then rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead an hour after the incident took place.  

'It's just sad to watch because I see her outside almost every other day playing with her little toys and stuff, and just to know that happened to that little baby,' Washington shook her head as she told NBC News. 

No charges or arrests have been made but the incident is bein investigated, including the assault

'Nobody wanted that to happen, nobody want to hurt a kid,' the other neighbor said.   

In a statement, Uber told FOX Business: 'The details of what's been reported are heartbreaking, and our thought go out to the victim's family.' 

The ride sharing company said that they removed Khan's access to the platform while the incident in investigated. 

The toddler was just two months shy of  her second birthday. 

Lt. K Benoit said: 'It's just an unfortunate tragedy at this point.' 

'We as parents, relative, custodians of children, we have to be a lot more alert, hold their hand, guide them to a safe place and then watch the driver pull away,' he said. 

The sheriff's office said that Khan did not show signs of impairment and is cooperating with the investigation.
