Actress Tori Spelling and seven children were rushed to hospital following a collision in Temecula, California, on Thursday evening, it's been confirmed.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star, 52, was behind the wheel when another motorist allegedly drove through a red light and struck her vehicle at approximately 5:45pm local time.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office confirmed to People that deputies arrived at the scene to discover two cars with substantial damage.

Ms Spelling had been transporting four of her own children along with three of their friends when the incident occurred, roughly 80 miles from Los Angeles.

Footage obtained by TMZ showed the actress speaking with officers at the crash site.

All eight occupants sustained injuries in the collision, including lacerations, bruising, contusions and concussions.

The group was transported to hospital aboard three separate ambulances after being assessed at the scene by emergency responders.

According to reports, everyone involved is now recovering well from their injuries.

TMZ reported that witnesses observed Ms Spelling appearing animated rather than angry whilst speaking with police.

Sources familiar with the incident told the outlet that the actress's defensive driving and swift reactions may have prevented more serious harm to those in her vehicle.

The other car involved reportedly suffered severe damage to its front end.

Authorities have confirmed that no arrests were made at the scene, with the cause of the collision still under investigation.

Photographs circulating online appear to show Ms Spelling's SUV with significant damage to its rear right corner, whilst the other vehicle's front section was extensively crushed.

The actress shares five children with her former husband, Dean McDermott: Liam, 19, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, nine. It remains unclear which of her children were passengers at the time.

This marks the second serious road incident for Ms Spelling, who was involved in a crash in 2011 whilst pregnant and being pursued by a photographer.

On that occasion, she collided with a school wall whilst attempting to evade the paparazzo.

The couple announced their separation in 2023 and finalised their divorce in November 2025. Speaking on her misSPELLING podcast, the actress described it as "one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood."

Spelling rose to fame portraying Donna Martin in the iconic 1990s teen drama, a role she played from 1990 to 2000. Her 2008 memoir Stori Telling reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.

The actress cancelled a scheduled Las Vegas appearance in late December, citing health concerns.

She had been due to co-host a 90s After Dark event with former co-star Brian Austin Green, but withdrew to prioritise her wellbeing.
