At least eight people were hit by a car at Fiesta Mart in southern Houston

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

Officials said at least eight people were hit by the vehicle at 9420 Cullen Boulevard. Around 3 p.m., a golden SUV drove through the windshields and traveled through the store, according to HPD.

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

HPD said the most serious injury he suffered was a head injury and that person is expected to survive.

Jhannee Armstead was getting her nails close when the accident occurred and she went to help herself.

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

All victims are expected to recover.

The driver is under arrest and showed signs of deterioration.
