Tori Spelling’s life was turned upside down on Thursday when she was involved in a terrifying car crash in Temecula, California.
The 52-year-old actress was behind the wheel of an SUV when another vehicle allegedly hit her at high speed, leaving seven children, including four of her own, shaken and injured.
According to law enforcement, the crash occurred at a busy intersection in Temecula, around 85 miles east of Los Angeles. Spelling’s SUV was struck by another vehicle that allegedly ran a red light and sped down the road.
The impact was so severe that it caused significant damage to both vehicles, with parts of the SUV’s bumper, lights, and undercarriage ripped off.
Spelling’s children, Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 9, were all in the car, along with three friends of her kids. The actress was taken to hospital along with the children, where they were treated for injuries including cuts, contusions, and concussions.
This is not the first time Spelling has been involved in a car crash. In 2011, she was involved in another accident with two of her children in the car.
At the time, she tweeted that paparazzi had chased her and caused the accident.
Spelling’s ex-husband, Dean McDermott, with whom she has five children, was not involved in the crash. The couple announced their split in 2023 and their divorce was finalized in November 2025.
Spelling has spoken publicly about the ease of their divorce, saying it was “one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood.”
Spelling has also been focusing on her career and personal growth, revealing last month that she is not in the dating scene. “I am not thinking about dating,” she told People.
“I am in my power era and I’m rebuilding and reinventing and taking it to the next level.”
Security analysts say that the crash highlights the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of road safety. “This incident is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of speeding and reckless driving,” said one expert.
“It’s crucial that drivers take responsibility for their actions on the road and prioritize the safety of themselves and others.”
Law enforcement insiders warn that the investigation into the crash is ongoing and that charges may be laid against the driver of the other vehicle.
“The investigation is still in its early stages, but we are working to determine the cause of the crash and whether any charges will be laid,” said a spokesperson for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
