Eat and run, literally: US food influencers escape injury as SUV crashes into Texas restaurant (VIDEO)
TMZ reported that the owners of the eatery confirmed the footage is genuine, and that they were standing nearby when the incident occurred.
Both influencers were taken to hospital, though the driver of the vehicle was unharmed.
The eatery owner told TMZ that the driver will be held responsible for the damage caused.
According to TMZ, authorities investigating the crash determined it was a freak accident, with no indication that the driver was impaired.

Florida executes man convicted of 1982 murder, 29th US execution this year
MIAMI, Aug 20 — A 67-year-old man convicted of the 1982 murder of a woman he abducted from her office was put to death by lethal injection in the southern US state of Florida on yesterday. Kayle Bates was sentenced to death in 1983 for the murder of Janet Renee White, 24, who worked at an insurance company in Lynn Haven, Florida. White was attacked at her office by Bates after she returned from lunch and stabbed to death in nearby woods. Bates was executed at 6:17 pm (2217 GMT) at the Florida State Prison, according to officials. There have been 29 executions in the United States in 2025, the most since 2014, when a total of 35 inmates were also put to death. Twenty-four of this year's executions have been carried out by lethal injection, two by firing squad and three by nitrogen hypoxia, which involves pumping nitrogen gas into a face mask, causing the prisoner to suffocate. The use of nitrogen gas as a method of capital punishment has been denounced by United Nations experts as cruel and inhumane. Florida has carried out the most executions in 2025 with 10. The death penalty has been abolished in 23 of the 50 US states, while three others—California, Oregon and Pennsylvania—have moratoriums in place. President Donald Trump is a proponent of capital punishment, and on his first day in office called for an expansion of its use 'for the vilest crimes.' — AFP

Austin Butler runs into claws and criminals in Darren Aronofsky's ‘Caught Stealing'
LONDON, Aug 20 — Austin Butler tackles an action-heavy lead role in Darren Aronofsky's dark comedy crime caper Caught Stealing. Set in New York in 1998, the Elvis actor plays Hank Thompson, whose promising baseball career was cut short by tragedy. Hank appears to have his life back on track, tending a dive bar and dating a cool and caring emergency medical technician (Zoe Kravitz). But when his British punk rocker neighbour Russ (Matt Smith) leaves his cat in his care while he's out of town, Hank suddenly finds himself in the crosshairs of the city's ruthless criminal gangs. Intense scenes ensue as Hank, with the cat in tow, tries to outwit the thugs. 'There's a lot of running. There's a lot of action. I got the crap beat out of me. I got to run a lot,' Butler said at the movie's London premiere on Tuesday, adding that Hank is also running away from his problems. 'That's kind of a universal thing, whether it's reaching for a new relationship or a new job or whatever those things are that can keep you from feeling certain things. And in this, he's finally forced to face these things. That's the theme for me that resonates,' Butler said. The film is based on the 2004 book of the same name by Charlie Huston, who also wrote the screenplay. Black Swan and The Wrestler director Aronofsky said he was after a new challenge following his 2022 drama The Whale and 'wanted to have some fun'. 'Making something that's funny, that has a lot of jokes, you're lighter on your feet,' he said. 'When I read the book, I was excited and deeply moved by all the twists and turns, the action, the kind of energy on the streets. I wanted to give that back and bring it to life on the big screen.' The project also marked a departure for The Crown and House of the Dragon star Smith. The British actor sports a towering brightly coloured mohawk on screen. But rather than Russ's hair, it was his pet that stole the limelight, said Butler. 'The cat's the real star of the show. His name's Tonic and he's an amazing actor, an amazing little animal. I love him a lot.' Caught Stealing, which also stars Bad Bunny, Regina King, Liev Schreiber and Vincent D'onofrio, rolls out to cinemas globally on August 27. — Reuters
