Lisa Vanderpump Opens Up About Scary Ferrari Crash At Pump Restaurant, Reveals It Could Have Been Much Worse
Lisa Vanderpump‘s West Hollywood restaurant, Pump, was nearly the scene of a major tragedy Sunday afternoon.
As guests of the venue enjoyed brunch at the Santa Monica Boulevard hotspot, the driver of a silver Ferrari lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the patio area of the restaurant. While no one was seriously hurt, someone had been seated on the patio just a short time before the incident.
During an interview with Access Hollywood on Monday, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and current Vanderpump Rules cast member opened up about the crash and expressed her thanks that no one was badly injured, or worse.
“You know what? There was someone sitting in that patio 20 minutes before. So, thank God. Thank God,” she said. “There was a young lady who had a few grazes and minor cuts and everything. But it could have been a tragedy.”
The crash took place around 2 p.m. on Sunday. According to a sheriff report, no drugs or alcohol were involved. There was also no structural damage done to the establishment. The glass panels appeared to have sustained the most damage.
As the interview continued, Vanderpump was asked whether or not the accident would be addressed on an upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules. She said that because the eighth season had already wrapped, it would not.
She then joked, “Maybe we could reenact it.”
As fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules well know, Pump is just one of Vanderpump’s many restaurants in Los Angeles. In addition to the venue, which is located on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Robertson Boulevard, Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd, also own TomTom, which is located just doors down from Pump on Santa Monica Boulevard, and SUR Restaurant, which can be found on Robertson Boulevard.
Vanderpump and Todd also own Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills and the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas, which opened its doors in 2019.
Although Vanderpump is quite busy with all of her restaurants, she recently freed up some time by quitting her full-time role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. According to her Vanderpump Rules co-stars, she’s been a new woman ever since turning in her resignation in June.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, during an interview with OK! Magazine in December, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix said that Vanderpump has been “more present emotionally” since she quit.
