Content creators NinaUnrated and Patrick Blackwood are mutually "grateful" to come away relatively unscathed after an SUV crashed into the window of a Houston restaurant where they were seated.
The two were recording their reaction to several dishes at CuVee's Culinary Creations when their dining experience was interrupted by the crash, which sent shards of glass flying in their direction. Blackwood, who was seated closest to the window, was able to get away under his own power.
Blackwood shared a video of the injuries he sustained from the incident with the caption, "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 posted a series of photos on Instagram, documenting her injuries, her time in the hospital, and her ordeal in the ambulance with Blackwood. The content creator said she's "beyond grateful to be alive," crediting the universe and "our angel pup, Loyal," for protecting her and Patrick.
"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 what 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 unidentified owner of CuVee's Culinary Creations tells TMZ that the driver was arriving for a private event when the crash occurred. The individual behind the wheel reportedly does not recall what contributed to the accident.
Since the driver was reportedly not impaired at the time, investigators believe it was likely a freak accident.
The owner of the establishment expects the driver to be held accountable for the damages.
