Houston police are investigating a significant crash that took place on Saturday afternoon at a Fiesta Market located in south Houston.

Officials said at least eight people were hit by the vehicle at 9420 Cullen Boulevard. Around 3 p.m., a gold SUV drove through the front windows and moved through the store, according to Houston Police Department (HPD).

The injured people were taken to local hospitals. The youngest victim was 9 years old whereas the oldest was in their mid-30s.

HPD said the most significant injury suffered was a head injury and that individual is expected to survive.

Similarly, all victims are expected to recover.

“Major Auto Pedestrian Crash: A driver crashed into the Fiesta Mart at 9420 Cullen Blvd. 7 complainants were struck by the vehicle and transported to local hospitals. Suspect is in custody. Inv. is ongoing,” HPD noted on their Twitter.

Jhannee Armstead was getting her nails done nearby when the crash took place and rushed over to help.

“I actually didn’t know that a car went through until someone told me but I was more focused the lady that was laying down on the ground, face down and I just saw blood all over the ground,” Armstead said.

The driver is in custody and was indicating signs of impairment.

“The driver was showing signs of impairment on the scene. He has since been transported, and they are conducting DWI investigation,” said Houston Police Commander Kevin Deese.
