A car seemingly crashed into the famous Vanderpump Rules restaurant, SUR, owned by Lisa Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd. A video was shared online showing the car surrounded by broken glass, which shows Ken taking photos, and the emergency services.

The video was shared just a few hours ago, with someone writing on Reddit: “Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant Sur had a little accident. Let’s send the staff member who was hit by the car many well wishes because they are gonna need it.”

However, the incident in question actually happened in 2020, at Ken and Lisa’s restaurant, Pump. The silver Ferrari crashed into the patio area in January that year, which left one person being hospitalised with minor injuries, after the car lost control.

At the time, the car crashed through the patio seating and front door glass. Lisa commented on the incident, stating, “No. We are not a Drive-Thru. Thank God no one was hurt.” Shortly afterwards, the restaurant re-opened.

So don’t worry, the video may have just been shared, but it’s not actually recent, despite the worries online. Ken Todd spoke to TMZ shortly after the accident occurred. “He said somebody cut him off,” Ken told them outside the restaurant.
“Accidents happen. Take everything rough or smooth. He couldn’t help it. It was accident. Nobody was killed. Nobody was hurt,” Ken said at the time, confirming that he planned to keep the bulk of the restaurant open and close off the patio area.

One customer reportedly got some scratches and was later transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The structure of the building stayed intact, while Pump did end up closing in July 2023, after 10 years of business.
