Luckily, neither driver was seriously injured and the incident did not hurt any bystanders or their vehicles. The accident caused an immediate power outage inside, prompting an all-night repair job by Oncor.

Power was restored the following morning, and White Rock Coffee resumed their standard operating hours on Sunday. As of Monday, the shop remains without internet, but the espresso machines are back and running.
