Two popular YouTubers recently became victims of an unbelievably shocking incident. Food influencers Patrick Blackwood and Nina Santiago, better known by her online alias ‘NinaUnrated,’ were enjoying a massive spread of food, and filming their burger review, at a local Texas restaurant when an SUV unprecedentedly crashed into them. Fortunately, both influencers survived the crash.
Possibly the most startling bit of all was that the pair was sitting inside the enclosed establishment while the car came charging in from the outside and smashed through the glass window right next to them. The mind-numbing incident took place at CuVee’s Culinary Creations in Houston, Texas, leaving Nina and Patrick with bloody injuries.

Actual visuals of the spine-chilling accident have since surfaced on social media, as NinaUnrated shared the account via her personal Instagram. An age-sensitive prompt pops up on X as one heads over to the platform to view the widely circulated video. “Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old,” says X.
The series of events leading up to the Texas restaurant crash remain unclear at the moment, as the video shared online merely shed light on how the impact affected Blackwood, who is a Czech Bowl Champ, and Santiago. More revelations tied to who may have been behind the wheel at the time of the SUV freak accident are awaited.
Food influencer Nina Santiago aka NinaUnrated speaks out
“I’m beyond grateful to be alive after an SUV crashed through the wall at @cuveesculinarycreations in Houston, TX, shattering everything while @iampatrickblackwood and I recorded an eating show,” she captioned the post shared just hours ago. It accompanied a series of pictures, revealing injuries she and Patrick sustained on their faces, including cheek, ear, chest and arm.
“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 added, as she couldn’t help but appreciate people around her in the aftermath of the near-fatal incident.
She continued, “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.
“Thankful to the universe and our angel pup Loyal, who passed in Nov 2024 and protected us from above, ” the post concluded with hashtags “Grateful,” “Survivor” and “Life Is Precious.”
