Atascocita Nothing Bundt Cakes to Reopen September 30th Following Deadly June Crash
 
The Nothing Bundt Cakes location in Atascocita is reportedly preparing to reopen on September 30th, nearly three months after a deadly crash forced the bakery to close. A Kingwood .com forum user shared the reported reopening date this week and asked community members to continue keeping the bakery's workers in their thoughts as they prepare to return.
 
The bakery at 19250 W. Lake Houston Parkway has been closed since June 30th, when a pickup truck crashed through the front of the business. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the driver was attempting to park when his foot slipped from the brake onto the accelerator. The truck entered the bakery and struck 19-year-old employee Zion Branch, who was working near the front counter. Branch died at the scene. Other people were also evaluated for injuries, including a customer who was transported to a hospital.
 
Following the crash, Nothing Bundt Cakes said its priority was supporting Branch's family, those who were injured, the bakery's owners and employees, and everyone affected by the tragedy. The September 30th date is based on the Kingwood .com member's report and has not been independently confirmed by Nothing Bundt Cakes' website or socials.

I wonder what happened to the old guy that was driving the truck? Hope he at least lost his license to drive.

do you believe the 6 kids that were hit on Bikes and Scooters this past month, the drivers that hit them should lose their license? or is it just "Old" people?

I'd say that depends... did those drivers forget the difference between the brake and accelerator? Every case is different, but I know it's far more possible for a kid on a scooter to dart out in front of a vehicle than a store jumping out in front of someone... The fact is some people age out of driving privileges, and it should be acknowledged. Then, others should have never had the privilege to begin with...

I hope they have a permanent memorial for her there. She was very helpful, patient and kind. I'm not very good at picking out cakes/cupcakes for celebrations and work events, but she was always very helpful.

Let's hope that the Strip Mall owner gets and installs some barriers to stop anything like this from happening again...
