Actress Tori Spelling was involved in a serious car accident in Temecula on Thursday evening while traveling with several children, according to reports.
Authorities were called to the scene shortly before 6 p.m. after receiving reports of a collision involving two vehicles. Law enforcement officials told TMZ that both cars showed visible damage upon arrival.
Spelling had been driving an SUV when another vehicle allegedly struck her at high speed after reportedly running a red light. Unverified images circulating online appear to show significant front-end damage to one car, while the SUV displayed missing components including parts of the bumper and lighting.
Sources cited by TMZ stated that the actress was traveling with seven children at the time — four of her own and three friends accompanying them.
Injuries and Emergency Response
Emergency responders evaluated all occupants at the scene. Spelling, her children, and the additional passengers were transported to a hospital in three ambulances and treated for injuries including cuts, contusions, and concussions, according to TMZ. No arrests were made in connection with the incident.
Footage obtained by the outlet showed Spelling speaking with officers at the scene, appearing animated as she described what had happened.
An official investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing. Representatives for Spelling and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department have not publicly commented.
According to law enforcement sources and eyewitness accounts, Spelling’s quick reaction in the moments before impact may have helped reduce the severity of the crash.
Reports indicate she maneuvered the vehicle in a way that lessened the force of the collision, potentially preventing more serious injuries to those inside. While the situation was alarming, those involved are understood to be recovering.
Past incident and personal update
This is not the first time Spelling has experienced a traffic-related incident involving her children. In 2011, she publicly shared that she had been involved in a crash while attempting to evade a pursuing photographer.
Spelling shares five children — Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau — with her former husband, Dean McDermott. The couple, who married in 2006, finalized their divorce in November 2025 following their separation two years earlier.
Speaking on her “misSPELLING” podcast, Spelling described the process as unusually smooth. “This was one of the easiest divorces,” she said, noting that despite challenges during their marriage, the separation itself was largely without conflict.
In a recent interview with People last month, she also shared that she is currently focused on personal growth rather than dating. She described herself as being in a “power era,” concentrating on rebuilding and expanding her business ventures.
The actress was also seen attending the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles last week, appearing alongside major figures including Taylor Swift.
As authorities continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the Temecula crash, attention remains on the recovery of those involved and the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
