SUV smashes into influencer couple as they record their meal review
The shocking footage above captures the moment an SUV smashed through a Texas restaurant window as two influencers were reviewing their meal.
Food influencers Nina Unrated and Patrick Blackwood were going about their daily routine recording at CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston when an SUV smashed through the window of the booth they were sitting at.
The duo, who previously dated, shared a video of the horrific moment on their joint YouTube channel, Unrated Ex Files, on Monday afternoon.
As the two toasted with their slider sandwiches and took a bite, a vehicle struck the window, sending the influencers flying out of their seats as glass shattered over them.

'We were just sitting in a cozy booth at our favourite restaurant, enjoying happy hour with an amazing spread of salmon sliders, presidential oysters, a macaroni and cheese flight (classic, lobster, and truffle), shrimp and grits, and some refreshing drinks,' the influencers said.
'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 barrelling 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.'
Nina and Patrick recorded their experience in the hospital and documented their injuries.
"I have glass all over my body... I don't feel good,' Nina said while showing the cuts and bruises on her body in the hospital.
In an Instagram update on her injuries, she added: '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.
'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.'
Patrick showed the gashes he suffered on his face and head, as well as the other cuts to his body that required stitches in a separate post.

'This is all I want to do': Meet the Dubliner documenting Ireland's marine life
IRELAND'S MARINE LIFE may appear underrepresented compared to our wildlife – there is much talk of our flóra agus fána , but perhaps slightly less about our ainmhithe agus éisc mhara . Joey Batt, a 32-year-old health and safety and operations coordinator at Dublin Port, thinks so anyways. That's why he's taken to sharing his hobby documenting marine life off Ireland's west coast online to his tens of thousands of followers. The Journal / YouTube Batt was born and raised in Sheriff Street in the north inner city of Dublin. He told The Journal that before Covid hit, he had left Dublin only twice: once to go to Spain and once to France on school holidays. 'We used to go to Balbriggan [in north county Dublin] every year,' he said. He bought his first drone roughly eight years ago to use as a hobby, and then began using it to take pictures. It was only during the Covid years that he began to take interest in what was going on in Irish waters. He and a friend set off in the car when restrictions lifted and decided to head somewhere. 'We just opened Google Maps and said, 'where will go we go?' and we just zoomed in on everywhere. We just found a place and there was blue water on the map, so we said we'd go there.' They drove four and a half hours to Keem Bay in Co Mayo. 'When you turn up around that bend on a sunny day you're just like, what even is this?' Batt said. There were dolphins there at the time. Now, Batt spends most of his weekends travelling the west coast and documenting marine life on his TikTok and Instagram pages, Dublin Drone, which have a combined following of almost 100,000. Dingle Bay's Humpback whale captured in full flight. Joey Batt / Instagram Joey Batt / Instagram / Instagram When he spoke to The Journal earlier this week, he hadn't long returned from five days at Loop Head in Co Clare where he observed basking sharks swimming in formations. 'This is probably one of the rarest events that sharks do,' he said. 'You have these basking sharks that arrive off the coast out of nowhere, and they all just come together in big formations.' It only happens once a year for around a week and there is not a set date to look out for – Batt received word that it had begun and he dropped everything to head straight to Clare. Advertisement 'They still don't exactly know what they're doing, but they're swimming in these beautiful formations,' he said. Tourists gathered to watch the occasion and in the evening times, locals would head down to observe the annual phenomenon. Joey Batt / Instagram Joey Batt / Instagram / Instagram Batt devotes enormous amounts of time to his documentation of these events, but makes no money from it. In Ireland, the only way to make money off social media is through sponsorships and paid advertisements, which Batt has decided not to attach himself to. His main focus is on raising awareness in Ireland of the vastness and intricacies of Irish marine life. 'The plan is to try to help highlight what's out there,' he said. 'That's all I want to do – to really highlight what's in Irish waters.' A grey seal colony relaxing on the edge of Bull Island. Joey Batt / Instagram Joey Batt / Instagram / Instagram He said that many people have no idea the extent of marine mammals close to the country's coast. 'I didn't even know we had dolphins,' he said, before he had travelled to other parts of the country several years ago. The Journal / YouTube For those interested in viewing more of marine life or travelling to various parts of Ireland, Batt recommends both Dingle Bay and Donegal Bay. Dingle Bay is a prime spot to view dolphins, basking sharks, fin whales, and minke whales, depending on the time of year, he said. 'You have the large colony of seals down in Dingle: Ireland's largest colony of grey seals is down in Dingle on the Blasket Island Beach.' And Donegal Bay? 'I'd call it the humpback central of Ireland. Every year they have so many humpbacks.' Next month, he's to begin a marine mammal course, having been put forward for it by Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

THE DJ famously had a major crush on a telly star DAMN ODOOM Melvin Odoom has secretly found love – and it's thanks to an I'm A Celeb mate I'M A Celebrity's Melvin Odoom has secretly found love - and it's all thanks to his former campmate. Sparks flew between Radio One DJ Melvin, 45, and his 31-year-old girlfriend Hannah Holland after being introduced through social media influencer GK Barry. 4 Melvin competed on the hit TV show last year Credit: Rex 4 He met his now-girlfriend, Hannah Holland, after the series came to a close Credit: Instagram/hannahroseholland The couple grew close after filming wrapped on the 2024 series in Australia, where Hannah had flown out for work. An insider told The Sun: 'Melvin and Hannah really hit it off and are incredibly happy together. 'They're both keen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but their chemistry is undeniable. 'It's now an open secret in the industry - everyone's thrilled for Melvin.' Redhead Hannah spent time Down Under in her role as CEO of HLD - a London-based Entertainment Agency - which represents GK Barry. She signed the star, real name Grace Keeling, who'd gone viral with her relatable and funny TikTok videos during the Covid lockdown. Hannah's paths crossed with Melvin while the pair watched from the family and friends area outside camp after Melvin was fourth to be voted out of the jungle. Presenter Melvin, who openly discussed his single status on the ITV show, had hopes of winning the heart of his cougar crush Carol Vorderman, 64, after leaving the show. He brought a cushion with a picture of her face printed on it as his luxury item on the show. The 45-year-old even role-played a date with her alongside his campmates - calling her his 'dream woman'. Former Countdown host Carol sent a voice note into the jungle spin-off show, Unpacked, telling him: 'See you on the other side.' I'm A Celeb's Melvin Odoom reveals Carol Vorderman has GHOSTED him She ghosted Melvin after sending her his number on social media. Melvin - who co-hosts the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge with Rickie Haywood-Williams and Charlie Hedges - admitted finding dating 'hard' before meeting Hannah. Speaking about looking for a future partner - he described wanting someone 'adventurous, motivated and passionate'. Meanwhile Hannah was focused on work before locking eyes with her now-partner - having secured the first TikTok star in I'm A Celeb history, a place in the jungle. She told followers at the time: 'Myself and Grace put this on our strategy 3 years ago and we bloody have done it! 'I'm so proud of you Grace, I can't wait for you to show the world how kind, funny and quick you are. Enjoy the big kangaroo balls.' GK Barry is said to be "thrilled" for the couple, who attended her 26th birthday party earlier this month. The Saving Grace podcaster and guests dressed as 'grandmas' as they enjoyed a knees-up at The Prince pub in London. Looking almost unrecognisable, Hannah transformed into 'momager' Kris Jenner for the intimate event - while Melvin snubbed the theme and stayed casual in a white top and shorts. Our insider added: "Melvin and Hannah are head over heels, it's the real deal." I'm A Celebrity was watched by eight million people last series, which was won by McFly star Danny Jones. 4 Melvin was introduced to Hannah by GK Barry, who Melvin enjoyed a fun-filled pub trip with dressed up as grandmas Credit: Instagram / gkbarry_

Gary Neville shares 'soppy' note to Bruce Springsteen
It's no secret that Gary Neville is a huge Bruce Springsteen fan as he has mentioned it numerous times on the Stick to Football podcast. The Manchester United icon has attended many of Springsteen's concerts and has repeatedly shared his admiration of the music legend. However, Neville shared a new layer to his Springsteen fandom during this week's episode of The Overlap. The fellow podcast members loved the message. Pic: The Overlap/YouTube The 50-year-old was presenting a special piece of memorabilia on the podcast when he revealed a special message he left for the Born to Run singer. Over the summer, Springsteen adopted Neville's hotel as his second home while he played his concert in Manchester. Neville and his former teammate Ryan Giggs own the Stock Exchange Hotel and they got a huge paycheck from the legendary songwriter in May. Springsteen booked out the entire five-star hotel and its 40 rooms for the week, at an estimated cost of £23,000 per night. Bruce Springsteen performing at Croke Park in Dublin. Pic: GMCD Neville has now revealed that before the singer arrived, the Sky pundit left a 'soppy' note for him. He told the podcast: 'I didn't go see him. I wrote him a welcome note. 'So it's a bit soppy..' Neville then read the note aloud: 'Welcome to Manchester and to our hotel. We pride ourselves on looking after every guest equally and with care but for you I had to write a note. 'Back in January 1985, a month before my 10th birthday, I was watching Top of the Pops at home and saw something different. Something that made me fall in love with guitar music and it was Dancing in the Dark. 'Me and my dad would listen to this record in the car all the time. They were great times and I wish he was here to see you play live with me. 'The day after I ran to the bus stop to catch a bus from my hometown Bury, only a few miles from Manchester, to the only record shop in the town called 'Vibes' to buy my first ever album: Born in the USA. Roy Keane cracked the room up with a classic joke. Pic: The Overlap/YouTube 'I have no words for how good you are and how you make us all feel. I will be with you watching on the 17th and 20th in Manchester and coming to San Sebastian and Milan. 'I'd watch you every damn day if I could. Please enjoy Manchester, enjoy the people and I hope you enjoy the hotel. 'All my love, Gary Neville.' "It's my job!" 😂 Looks like even Bruce Springsteen has been taking notes from Roy! 🤝
