Watch: 8 Dead, 13 Injured After Hot Air Balloon Crash in BrazilTwo social media stars are counting their blessings after a terrifying experience. As food influencers Nina Santiago (known online as NinaUnrated) and Patrick Blackwood filmed themselves tasting a spread of food at a local restaurant in Houston, Texas, an SUV crashed through the window and into the pair. In an Aug. 17 Instagram video, which has since gone viral, Nina and Patrick each took a bite out of a slider sandwich moments before the vehicle interrupted their meal and unexpectedly drove through the side of the restaurant, knocking over their table and sending glass flying into the air. Nina fell to the floor as Patrick nearly landed on top of her while pushing himself off of the booth's bench. While it's unclear what led to the crash, Nina shared an update on how she is recovering after she said the SUV "hit us directly." "I'm beyond grateful to be alive after an SUV crashed through the glass wall at Cuvee Culinary Creations in Houston, TX, shattering everything while Patrick Blackwood and I recorded an eating show," Nina wrote in an Aug. 18 Instagram post alongside pictures of multiple gashes she sustained on her wrist and face. The TikToker added the vehicle came "out of nowhere, but we survived." readWWE's Vince McMahon Cited for Reckless Driving After Car CrashShe also described how the crash altered her worldview, writing, "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." For his part, Patrick shared pictures of his injuries, including bloodied gashes on his cheek, ear, chest and arm.

"Live bold, love deep, and make every moment count." Read on for more stars who have experienced freak accidents. Jamie Lynn Spears/InstagramMaddie AldridgeJamie Lynn Spears' then-8-year-old daughter Maddie Aldridge was driving an ATV in February 2017 when she accidentally flipped it into a pond near their Louisiana home, leaving her submerged under water for minutes. "When we were finally able to get her out of the water and I saw her and then the first responders took her from me, we thought she was gone," Jamie Lynn recalled on a 2020 episode of Maria Menounos Better Together podcast. "We thought we'd lost our daughter." Though the family wasn't sure what sort of damage had been done, Maddie was awake and talking two days later. A few weeks after that, she was back to her normal routine. "God gave me the blessing of giving me my daughter back," Jamie Lynn continued. "I lost her and I got her back."Magenta Light StudiosRebel WilsonFilming on Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp's 2025 action comedy Bride Hard turned dramatic during the Aussie's final day of playing secret agent. "In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face," Rebel explained to Access Hollywood in a June 2025 interview. "It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set. It was my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?'" Surrounded by a pool of her own blood, "I was freaking out," she admitted of the 2023 incident. "They take an ambulance and they have to call a plastic surgeon, because if they didn't, I would have been permanently disfigured. So we got the plastic surgeon, they did all the stitches, and you can't tell now."

He tried catching himself on the counter and his ring got stuck on the way down, pulling his finger out. He described it as "ring avulsion," and it kept him in the hospital for 10 days as doctors worked to prevent him from having to get it amputated. FacebookZane WachAn experienced hiker who competes in distance running, swimming and triathlons, Zane Wach was nearly felled by altitude sickness while hiking with his dad Ryan Wach on California's Mount Whitney in June 2025. "He started to experience some hallucinations," Ryan explained to to the SFGATE of the 14-year-old. "He knew he was hallucinating. He said he saw things like snowmen and Kermit the Frog." Ryan managed to stop his teen from walking off the cliff multiple times as they made their way back down the trail. "He was in an altered mental state, and I don't know what caused it. We still don't know," the father noted. "My best guess is a combination of exhaustion, sleep deprivation, probably some dehydration and lasting effects from the altitude sickness. But he essentially started to doubt reality." And on a third attempt, Ryan was too far away to catch Zane, watching as his son fell roughly 120 feet off the cliff.
