At least 8 people hit by car at Fiesta Mart in south Houston

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

Authorities said at least eight people were hit by the vehicle at 9420 Cullen Boulevard. At about 3 pm, a golden SUV passed through the front windows and toured the store, according to HPD.

The injured were transported to local hospitals. The youngest victim was 9 years old, while the oldest was about 30 years old.

HPD said the most significant injury suffered was a head injury and that the person must survive.

Jhannee Armstead was doing her nails nearby when the accident happened and ran to help.

“Actually, I didn’t know a car passed until someone told me, but I was more focused on the lady who was lying on the floor, facedown, and I saw blood all over the floor,” said Armstead.

All victims must recover.

The driver is in custody and shows signs of disability.
