Glenn and Barabara Ruckstuhl said they were eating lunch with friends and decided to skip dessert.
They left the restaurant 12 minutes before a Jeep crashed into the exact area they were sitting in.
The decision to leave early is one they said saved their lives and now changed them forever.
"It's just a life-changing experience to know that there must be something out there that I need to be doing to help other people or to do something to make other people happier, and I think I need to focus on that," Barabara Ruckstuhl said.
"For me, it's just realizing that all you really ever have is now," Glenn said.
They said it's a blessing no one was hurt in what could've been a horrific accident.
