What in the actual heck? What was supposed to be a casual food review turned into a near-death experience when an SUV came crashing into a Houston restaurant, striking two influencers in the middle of filming.
Content creators Nina Unrated and Patrick Blackwood were seated inside Cuvees Culinary Creations recording their latest review when an SUV barreled through the glass wall of the restaurant, sending shattered glass flying and hitting the pair.
The frightening ordeal was documented on their YouTube channel, Unrated Ex Files, where the duo shared both the shocking footage and their emotional reactions. The video, which runs 27 minutes, shows their relief at surviving the accident. “I’m glad to be alive,” Blackwood said in the aftermath. Nina added, “What a wild f*****g day,” while describing the soreness she felt while hospitalized.
Both were eventually released from the hospital with only minor injuries, something they described as nothing short of a miracle.
On their channel, they released a detailed statement reflecting on the life-altering moment:
“We were laughing, having a great time, and right as we tapped our sliders together in a ‘boom!’ cheers moment, out of nowhere, this SUV came barreling through the glass wall at 35-40 mph. No warning at all glass shattered everywhere, chaos erupted, and it hit right next to Patrick on the outside of the booth. We were inches from disaster, but by some miracle, we’re both okay, just shaken and forever changed.
This wild but terrifying experience has made us realize just how precious life is. Tomorrow is not promised do what you want to do today, live happy today, let go of everything holding you back, and forgive everybody. You don’t have time for that nonsense. We truly feel like we’ve been given a second chance, and we’re committed to making the most of it. We’re aiming to be beyond great amazing and we’re working on ourselves every day to become better people and crush our goals. We wish you all the best in life. Stay safe out there because life is so unexpected. That SUV came out of nowhere, and all we were doing was enjoying a simple meal.
The creators’ story has since spread across socials, serving as both a reminder of life’s unpredictability and a testament to resilience after tragedy.
