The world of influencers is chaotic enough with #influencersgonewild being a whole trend on its own, but now, shocking footage has captured the moment two influencers had their meal interrupted by a car plowing into the side of them.
From Logan Paul's Aokigahara Forest controversy to Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa being held up at gunpoint, we've seen IShowSpeed accidentally expose himself, Jack Doherty crash a $200,000 McLaren, and Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker get flashbanged while on a stream.
These are all major names, but there's also plenty of drama and tragedy from smaller creators.
We've previously covered the YouTuber who tragically predicted his kidnapping and murder, looked at the wild antics of Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, and the tale of one 19-year-old who was trapped in Antarctica when he was accused of illegally landing there.

For Nina Santiago and Patrick Blackwood, their worlds came crashing down around them (quite literally) when a simple food review was ruined by an SUV crashing into CuVee’s Culinary Creations in Houston, Texas.
Santiago and Blackwood looked like they were having a lovely time, tucking into an elaborate spread of salmon sliders, presidential oysters, and lobster. Just before they're about to take a bite of their sliders, the video slows down and shows the vehicle smashing into the window as glass, and the pair goes flying.
While Santiago manages to duck out of the way, Blackwood takes the brunt of the crash, with viewers noting a massive shard of glass sitting between his legs following the incident.

Restaurant staff and other diners look on in shock as the video then cuts to Santiago and Blackwood being rushed off in ambulances to show off their war wounds.
In the caption of the video, the influencers explained: "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."
Referring to it as the 'scariest sh*t ever', Blackwood said from the hospital: "I'm just blessed, thank you Lord. Thank you universe. I'm just blessed and grateful for everything."

While Blackwood seemed to recover reasonably quickly despite sporting a massive gash on the side of his face, Santiago was forced to stay a little longer because she didn't 'feel good'.
Giving her own opinion, she added: "My body feels tight, my head hurts a little but, my jaw hurts a little bit. I'm just glad I'm alive.
"This is the second accident this month. The fact that we walked away from both accidents, I don't know whether we are lucky or f**ked."

The cause of the crash is unclear, but local media reported that police and medical assistance were quickly on the scene.
Responding to the incident, one terrified viewer wrote: "My mom's best friend was killed this way. I never pick the window seat if there is moving traffic next to it. Glad you guys are ok."
Another added: "I hate this is my first ever video of seeing you guys but it made me be a new follower. Because this raw and uncut video made me so emotional because you can genuinely feel the realness through the screen."
We know there have been some out-there stunts performed by influencers, but it seems some genuinely think it was all done for the camera. With this, one person concluded: "Can't believe there's actual idiots that think this is staged 😭."
