Sylvia Flores, whose parents were at the restaurant, told KHOU-TV that it “sounded like a bomb went off” when the vehicle hit the building. The SUV stopped three meters in front of her parents, but the support beam fell and broke the mother’s leg.
They have stitches all over and my mom might have a broken leg, but I think it’s lucky that they’re talking and living and all that, Flores told the station. “My heart goes out to everyone that’s hurt up there and Denny, I mean, I told them all inside how sorry this happened.”
