Katherine admitted to police that when he was driving to his delivery destination, an SUV in front of him abruptly changed lanes, according to the criminal complaint.

He told investigators he did not know why the vehicle changed lanes, and after passing the SUV struck Steele. Katherine, the complaint noted, told police he did not see the victim or know he hit her until he pulled over.

Steele was transported to an area hospital where she later died. FOX 6 reported that an autopsy showed she died of multiple blunt force injuries and skull fractures.

Police said Katherine admitted to driving on a suspended license, which was suspended due to unpaid tickets.

The officers asked him how he was able to drive for the food delivery company without a license, and he said the app allows the delivery person to choose whether they are using a bicycle or car – he said he always selects “bicycle.”

Katherine’s license was suspended in February 2021, FOX 6 reported, for not paying fines related to driving without a license in October 2020.

He appeared in court on Wednesday and his bond was set at $2,000.
