HOUSTON – Houston police are investigating a major crash at a Fiesta Market in south Houston on Saturday afternoon.

Officials said at least eight people were hit by the vehicle at 9420 Cullen Boulevard. According to HPD, a gold SUV drove through the front windows and traveled through the store around 3 p.m.

The injured were transported to local hospitals. The youngest victim was 9 years old, while the oldest was in his mid-thirties.

HPD said the main injury was a head injury and that person is expected to survive.

Jhannee Armstead was close to doing her nails when the crash happened and rushed to help.

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

All victims are expected to recover.

The driver is in custody and shows signs of disability.
