Tori Spelling experienced a frightening moment on Thursday evening when a car accident in Temecula, California sent her and several children to the hospital.
The crash involved multiple vehicles and reportedly happened while the actress was driving with a group of kids inside her SUV, sparking concern about the safety of everyone involved.
Tori Spelling Involved In High-Speed Temecula Crash
Authorities were called to the scene shortly before 6 p.m. following reports of a serious collision in Temecula, a city located roughly 85 miles east of Los Angeles.
When officers arrived, they found two vehicles that had sustained visible damage after the crash.
A TMZ report indicates that Tori Spelling had been behind the wheel of an SUV when another car allegedly slammed into her vehicle at a high rate of speed.
According to information shared by law enforcement sources, the other driver may have run a red light while speeding through the intersection.
Images circulating online, though unconfirmed, appear to show significant damage to both vehicles involved.
One car reportedly had severe front-end destruction, while the SUV believed to belong to Spelling was missing sections of its bumper, lights, and parts of the undercarriage.
The actress was not alone during the incident. Sources claim that seven children were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.
Four of them were her own children, while the remaining three were reportedly friends riding along with them.
Spelling And Kids Taken To Hospital
Emergency responders quickly evaluated everyone at the scene following the collision.
Although no arrests were made in connection with the incident, the situation was serious enough that several people were transported to the hospital.
According to reports, Tori Spelling, her four children, and the other kids involved were taken away in three separate ambulances.
Medical professionals later treated them for injuries that included cuts, contusions, and possible concussions.
Eyewitness footage obtained by TMZ captured Spelling speaking with officers shortly after the accident.
In the clip, the actress appeared animated while recounting what happened, gesturing with her arms as she explained the events leading up to the crash.
Authorities have since confirmed that an investigation remains ongoing as officials attempt to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision.
Tori Spelling Previously Survived Another Crash
For longtime fans of the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star, the incident brings back memories of a similar scare from years ago.
In 2011, Spelling was involved in another car accident while traveling with two of her children.
At the time, she took to social media to explain what happened, writing, “Paparazzi chased me w/the kids 2school. I was trying to get away from him and had a pretty big accident. Took down whole wall of school.”
Spelling, who was pregnant when the 2011 crash happened, also revealed that other moms assisted her in chasing the paparazzi away.
Spelling’s Surprisingly Smooth Divorce
Tori Spelling shares and Dean McDermott built a large family during their nearly two-decade marriage, welcoming five children: Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, nine.
The pair married in 2006, announced their separation in 2023, and officially finalized their divorce in November 2025. Despite the long history and public attention, Spelling described the process as unusually peaceful.
Speaking on her “misSPELLING Podcast,” she shared, “I am officially divorced. It’s been quite a journey.”
She went on to emphasize how smoothly everything unfolded, adding, “I gotta say, you guys, this is something never said – this was one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood.”
Doubling down on her perspective, the actress remarked, “You can quote me there. Screw it – take Hollywood out. This is one of the easiest divorces [ever].”
Reflecting on their time together, Spelling explained that their shared experiences may have helped ease tensions.
“Interesting because Dean and I were together 20 years, married 18,” she said. “And while we had our ups and downs and problems throughout our marriage, we’ve had absolutely no problems throughout the divorce.”
She also stressed that both she and McDermott remained focused on their children throughout the split, noting their intention to “step up and be there for the five humans we chose to create out of love and setting a good example.”
Tori Spelling Embraces Her ‘Power Era’
Following the divorce, Spelling is prioritizing personal growth rather than jumping back into the dating world.
In a March interview with PEOPLE, she made it clear that romance is not currently on her radar.
“I am not thinking about dating,” she shared. “I am in my power era and I’m rebuilding and reinventing and taking it to the next level.”
The actress described this period as a fresh start, saying, “And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m back. This is my second chapter.’”
Instead of focusing on relationships, she is channeling her energy into expanding her professional ambitions.
As reports of Spelling’s terrifying car crash continue to make headlines, her fans would be hoping she, her kids, and the other children involved will be fine and fully recover from the horrible experience.
