SUV crashes through Houston restaurant as food influencers are filming

August 20, 2025

Two Houston food influencers say they are lucky to be alive after an SUV crashed into a restaurant while they were filming inside.

The incident happened Sunday. The SUV plowed through the front window, shattering glass and slamming into the dining area. The influencers, identified as Nina Santiago (known online as NinaUnrated) and Patrick Blackwood, were sampling appetizers for their YouTube channel when the vehicle came barrelling in.

They were taken to the hospital for cuts and bruises but were later released after getting stitches.

Restaurant owner Ivory Watkins says he was there walking them through the menu. The restaurant was otherwise empty.

Santiago and Blackwood later told TMX they “were just sitting in a cozy booth at our favorite restaurant, enjoying happy hour with an amazing spread … and some refreshing drinks” when the vehicle crashed into the restaurant.

They thanked their supporters, saying “we love you always!”
