It was a scary scene at Lisa Vanderpump‘s West Hollywood restaurant PUMP on Sunday after a Ferrari crashed into the building, leaving substantial damage to the front patio.
According to TMZ, law enforcement officials claimed a driver lost control on a nearby street when his sports car reportedly jumped the curb, swerved into the establishment, and smashed through the outdoor seating area. How awful!

First and foremost, we’re relieved to report that no one was seriously hurt in the freak accident! The outlet shared that one woman was slightly cut on her arm from errant shards of glass and was taken to a hospital for treatment. But thankfully, no other major injuries were reported.
Additional police reports claim the unidentified male driver was attempting to make a left turn on one of the surrounding streets but struggled to maintain power over the vehicle. Just how fast was this guy going, anyway? You have to wonder…
PUMP is located on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Robertson Blvd. — and most of our Los Angeles-based readers will know that busy intersection can be as tricky as they come! It’s not entirely shocking to hear of an accident on that side of town, but we’re sure no one expected something as crazy as this!

Vanderpump’s husband Ken Todd was on the scene as firefighters and first-responders attended to the damage. The 62-year-old was reportedly in good spirits, all things considered, and chatted with the authorities as well as the unidentified male driver about what went down. Todd told TMZ that “accidents happen” and at this point, the cops do not believe alcohol or drugs played a factor in the incident.
After the initial investigation, it appears there is no structural damage to the building but the sidewalk seating will surely need some renovations. Especially if Bravo plans to continue filming at the trendy hotspot!
The eatery supposedly closed and then partially reopened later in the day as the crew worked on cleaning up the area. As for the driver, he appeared to be in good enough condition to drive home in his car, which was surprisingly operable.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was not present at the time, however, she did take to Instagram to comment on the wreck. Alongside the photos (above), she cracked a light-hearted joke that read:
“No. We are not a Drive-Thru. Thank God no one was hurt…”
Yeah… not a drive-thru or a literal gas pump. Just in case anyone was wondering! And again, we’re so glad to hear things didn’t turn out any worse.
