Actress Tori Spelling was reportedly rushed to the hospital earlier this week after the car she was driving with seven children in her car was involved in a serious accident.
The crash was first confirmed to TMZ on Saturday by law enforcement, who said officers were dispatched to the crash in Temecula, California, on Thursday at 5:45 p.m. They found two cars with damage from the crash.
Later, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told People magazine that Spelling, 52, was driving her four children and three of their friends when she was struck by a speeding driver who ran a red light.
TMZ reports that the quick-thinking Spelling managed to avoid serious injury to himself and his passengers by moving his vehicle out of the way just before the crash.
The former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star and all passengers were evacuated to the scene of the accident and no arrests were made, the sheriff’s office said.
The actress and all seven children were then taken to the hospital in three separate ambulances, where they were treated for injuries including cuts, bruises and concussions, TMZ reports.
It’s unclear which four of Spelling’s five children were in the car with her at the time.
The actress shares children Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, nine, with her ex-husband and fellow actor Dean McDermott.
The couple divorced in 2023 after 17 years of marriage, but the divorce was finalized last year.
Spelling was also involved in a car accident in 2011 while pregnant with her third child.
At the time, she was driving her two older children to school when a photographer chased her and she crashed into a wall.
“Paparazzi followed me with kids from 2 schools,” she tweeted at the time. “I was trying to get away from him and I had a pretty big accident. I destroyed the entire school wall.”
However, Spelling said that despite the accident, paparazzi still tried to take pictures of her and her children, Stella and Liam, who were 3 and 4 years old at the time.
“Then he still came out to take pictures,” she added. “Ten mothers from the school chased him away. What will it cost? Who’s waiting for the paparazzi to stop him?”
Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, but Spelling said he plans to seek medical attention immediately as a precaution.
“I’m going to the doctor now to check on the baby. I think I’m just in shock,” she wrote.
