Brianna Iturrino and Joseph McMullin were on their first date. Iturrino said they had been at a karaoke bar and went to get donuts when the car barreled into them
‘We had gone to karaoke at AvantGarden,’ Iturrino told KHOU. After spending time in the bar, the pair sought out some food.
‘When we got out, the taco truck was closed, but he knew Voodoo would be open.
‘He asked if I wanted to take my car. I said, ‘Well it’s not that far, we can walk. Fresh air.”
She said they had just left the donut shop when Iturrino said she saw the Porsche coming at them very fast.
She told police she saw a flash and then tried to find McMullin.
Chambers drove for several feet more, before finally crashing into a post.

‘He really loved music. It was one of the things we bonded over,’ said Iturrino.
‘He said he wouldn’t sing, but he wanted to hear me sing.’
The female driver was traveling with two other people in the Porsche, a man and a woman who have not been identified. Neither are reported to have suffered serious injuries although the male was unconscious when taken from the scene.
Chambers was charged on Monday, and appeared in court on Wednesday. In court it was revealed that she also had drugs in the car at the time of the accident.

Chambers was rolled into the 339th District Court on Wednesday still visibly injured from the crash, in a wheelchair, her arm in a sling.
Her lawyer, Mark Thiessen, said Chambers broke her leg and clavicle in the collision.
He told the court she was not guilty and cited poor road conditions on Houston streets as the reason Chambers lost control of her vehicle.
Thiessen described Chambers as unemployed and noted for the court that her husband is the sole provider.
Assistant District Attorney Kelly Marshall told the court Chambers’ actions were criminal.
‘There was a lot of alcohol in her system,’ Marshall said, adding that traces of suspected drugs, possibly Adderall and cocaine, were also found in her purse.
Chambers told police that she drank a beer at 9:30pm but nothing else until the 2:30am crash.
Judge Te’iva Bell ordered that Chambers be held on a $50,000 bond and prohibited her from driving unless she gets a job.
If she posts bond the judge ordered, Chambers will need to obey a curfew and not use drugs or alcohol and must wear a SCRAM device, which monitors the body’s sweat for alcohol.
The defendant is required to install a landline at her home to show that she is abiding by those conditions.

‘You could find Joe at a local record shop, concert event, or theater production multiple times a week. He enjoyed all genres of music and his record collection reflects it’.
