Content creators NinaUnrated and Patrick Blackwood say they’re both “grateful” to have walked away with minor injuries after an SUV plowed through the window of a Houston restaurant where they were eating.
The pair had been filming their reactions to different dishes at CuVee’s Culinary Creations when the terrifying crash sent glass shattering in their direction. Blackwood, who was seated right by the window, managed to move to safety on his own.
Blackwood later posted a video showing the injuries he suffered in the crash, writing, “Grateful to see another day, walking away from the small stuff with a big purpose! Live bold, love deep, and make every moment count. “
NinaUnrated took to Instagram with a series of photos showing her injuries, moments from the hospital, and even her ride in the ambulance alongside Blackwood. She expressed that she’s “beyond grateful to be alive,” crediting the universe and “our angel pup Loyal” for watching over both of them.
“It hit us directly me on his left, him on my right as I bit into a delicious salmon slider. Out of nowhere, but we survived,” she wrote. “This experience showed me who truly matters; life’s too short for grudges or anger. Let go, forgive, live in the now, and cherish those around you this could’ve been our last meal.”
The owner of CuVee’s Culinary Creations told TMZ that the crash happened as the driver was pulling in for a private event. The driver reportedly has no memory of what caused the accident.
Authorities say impairment wasn’t a factor, and investigators are treating it as a freak accident. Still, the restaurant’s owner expects the driver to be held responsible for the damages.
