“Beverly Hills, 90210” alumna Tori Spelling and her children were hospitalized following a car accident in Southern California.
The 52-year-old actress was reportedly involved in a two-car collision on April 2, as first revealed by TMZ on April 4.
Deputies dispatched to the scene in Temecula just before 6 p.m. found two cars with collision damage, and occupants of both cars were medically evaluated, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told USA TODAY on April 5. No arrests were made, and the agency continues to investigate the cause of the crash.
Spelling was driving seven kids at the time of the accident – four of her children and three of their friends – when a speeding driver allegedly crashed into her car after running a red light, her spokesperson told NBC News.

USA TODAY has reached out to Spelling’s representatives for comment.
The “Scary Movie 2” actress shares five children with her ex-husband Dean McDermott: 19-year-old Liam, 17-year-old Stella, 14-year-old Hattie, 13-year-old Finn and 9-year-old Beau.
The couple, who starred in reality shows including the Oxygen series “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” separated in 2023. Spelling filed for divorce following nearly 18 years of marriage in March 2024.
Spelling, who hosts the “misSPELLING” and “9021OMG” podcasts, said in a recent interview with People that she and McDermott have been “great at co-parenting” since splitting.
“We’re a family. It’s just a different version of a family now and we’ll always be family,” she told the outlet on March 26. “So it’s really great for the kids.”
She added that her eldest kids, Liam and Stella, live with her and plan to stay close to home.
“Liam, who is 19, he goes, ‘Mom, I’ve always heard growing up and watching things on TV, when a man turns 18, he’s supposed to move out.’ And I said, ‘That is so archaic. Don’t listen to that,” Spelling said. “I cook a lot and I love my kids … Liam has a girlfriend, Stella has [a] boyfriend. They become family. I’m the house [that’s] like, ‘Everyone come over. Let me feed you.”
She also noted that she has been focusing on building an “empire” rather than dating.
“I am not thinking about dating. I am in my power era and I’m rebuilding and reinventing and taking it to the next level,” she told People. “I have so many businesses that I want to build, [and build] my empire and I can date later. That can always come.”
