Tori Spelling and four of her children taken to hospital after car crash in California

Tori Spelling has been taken to hospital alongside four of her children following a frightening car accident in Temecula.

The 52-year-old actress was behind the wheel of an SUV on Thursday April 2, 2026, when another vehicle allegedly struck her car at a high rate of speed, according to TMZ.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that officers were called to the scene shortly before 6pm after reports of a crash in the Southern California city, located around 85 miles east of Los Angeles. Upon arrival, authorities found two vehicles that had sustained significant damage in the collision.

Images circulating online, though unverified, appear to show one car with severe front-end damage, while an SUV – believed to be Tori’s – had parts of its bumper, lights and undercarriage missing.

According to reports, Tori had been travelling with seven children in total – four of her own and three friends – when the incident occurred. The crash allegedly happened after another driver ran a red light while speeding.

Emergency responders assessed those involved at the scene, and no arrests were made at the time. Tori, her children and their friends were later transported to hospital in three ambulances.

The accident echoes a previous incident in 2011, when Tori was involved in another crash while travelling with two of her children. At the time, she claimed paparazzi had been chasing her car, prompting her to lose control and crash into a wall near a school.

She later shared on social media that other parents had stepped in to help, writing that they “chased him away” following the frightening ordeal.

Thursday’s crash marks another alarming moment for the star, though it remains unclear how serious the injuries sustained in the latest incident may be.
