Tori Spelling breaks her silence on car crash that sent 7 kids to hospital
Tori Spelling is speaking out for the first time after being involved in a serious car crash earlier this week with seven children on board.
In an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, Spelling related, “I just wanted to reach out to everyone. This took me a bit to post, because as most of you know, four of my kids and I and three of their friends were in a car accident a few days before Easter in Temecula [California],”
“We’re okay, but it’s been really overwhelming. We are so grateful and so lucky because it could have been so much worse.”
“The driver that hit us was speeding. was going crazy crazy fast. We believe he went through a light. And I’m just really grateful that in a split second, guardian angels were with us that day,” she explained.
The accident was first confirmed to TMZ on Saturday. Police reported to the outlet that deputies were dispatched to a crash in Temecula, at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday. They found two cars with collision damage.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told People that Spelling, 52, was driving four of her children and three of their friends when they were hit by a driver, who was allegedly speeding and ran through a red light.
The former “Beverly Hills, 90210″ star 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.
There’s no report on 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.
