Rivera recounted the horrific incident to Storyful, mentioning that both she and her partner sustained minor injuries, and fortunately, their four dogs, who were also in the room at the time, escaped without any apparent harm. "They are sore and scared. No injuries were found, but a vet visit will be necessary once we can afford it," she said, highlighting the emotional and financial strain the event has caused.

The crash caused significant damage to their home, with Rivera noting, "The incident destroyed everything". In response to the destruction, the couple has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the cost of repairs.
