In a dramatic turn of events, actress Tori Spelling found herself in the midst of an alarming incident when the vehicle she was driving, carrying seven children, was involved in a significant collision earlier this week.
The accident, which occurred in Temecula, California, was reported to have taken place on Thursday at 5:45 p.m. According to law enforcement, deputies arrived at the scene to find two vehicles with considerable damage, as confirmed to TMZ on Saturday.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office later informed People Magazine that Spelling, 52, had been behind the wheel with her four children and three of their friends. The crash was reportedly caused by another driver, who was allegedly speeding and ran a red light, colliding with Spelling’s car.
Displaying remarkable presence of mind, the former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star reportedly took evasive action, steering the vehicle to mitigate the impact and thus preventing severe injuries to herself and her young passengers, as detailed by TMZ.
Following the incident, Spelling and the children were safely evacuated from the crash site. No arrests have been reported in connection with the accident, according to the sheriff’s office.
The actress and all seven children were then transported to the hospital in three separate ambulances, where TMZ reports they were treated for injuries including cuts, contusions and concussions.
It is not clear which four of Spelling’s five children were in the car with her at the time.
The actress shares her children — Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 9 — with her ex-husband, fellow actor Dean McDermott.
The couple split in 2023 after 17 years of marriage before finalizing their divorce last year.
Spelling was also previously involved in a car accident back in 2011, while pregnant with her third child.
The star hit a wall while driving her two eldest children to school at the time, while allegedly being chased by a photographer.
“Paparazzi chased me w/the kids 2school,” she tweeted at the time. “I was trying to get away from him and had a pretty big accident. Took down whole wall of school.”
However, according to Spelling, the accident didn’t stop the paparazzo from trying to get pictures of her and her children, Stella and Liam, who were respectively 3 and 4 at the time.
“He thn STILL got out to try to get pics,” she added. “10 school moms chased him away. Wht will it take? Someone dying for paparazzi to stop?”
Thankfully, no one was injured in that crash, but Spelling said she was heading straight to her doctor as a precaution.
“Going to dr now to check on baby. I think its just shock,” she wrote.
