An SUV left the road and struck the outdoor patio at Moderne in Orlando, Florida, in a crash reported on October 24, 2026. Employees said no one was hurt, and neither staff nor customers were on the patio when the vehicle hit.

The bar was closed at the time. The SUV hit a concrete planter and the patio railing, along with several tables and about 20 seats.

Stephanie Oropeza and her fiancé were returning home from a Halloween party when they saw the vehicle leave the road. They pulled over after the crash to help. Oropeza was still wearing a banana costume from the party.

Oropeza said she is studying to become a nurse and felt compelled to stop. She wanted to call for help and check on the driver. Video shared by Moderne showed her making a call for help near the damaged patio.

Bar manager Brantley Newton said his initial concern was determining when the collision had happened. He expressed relief that employees and guests had not been outside. The owner later confirmed to him that the front of the restaurant remained intact.
