Two food influencers who were sitting inside a restaurant in Houston, Texas were hit by an SUV as it crashed through the window. The crazy accident was caught on camera as Nina Santiago and Patrick Blackwood were trying out salmon sliders in front of a food-laden table when the vehicle suddenly bursts through.
Financial influencer shows his bare ignorance about cars.
Those influencers had set up a shoot to try out food at Cuvee Culinary Creations on August 17 when a mishap sent the SUV flying into the building, pushing both people out of their seats as broken glass flew everywhere.
Both posted photos on Instagram of them in the hospital with cuts to their faces. However, they escaped serious injury. Quite frankly, they’re lucky to be alive.
We’ve covered other accidents where cars have crashed into buildings, some of them with tragic outcomes. Thankfully, this didn’t turn out that way.
The driver was apparently headed to the restaurant for a private event when something happened that she can’t recall, reports TMZ. We don’t know if that means she suffered a medical episode or was distracted and doesn’t want to admit to such a thing.
However, authorities threw out the possibility of impairment as a cause.
We know from covering accidents like this they’re often a result of drivers mixing up the accelerator and brake pedals. Everyone wants to claim they don’t do it, but in a panic some do and the results can be catastrophic.
This is why driving should command your full attention. Text messages and such are a huge distraction while you’re behind the wheel and should be avoided. We’re just glad this crash wasn’t more serious.
