The “90210” star is speaking out for the first time since a terrifying Tori Spelling car crash that sent her four children and three of their friends to the hospital, revealing that a pair of guardian angels was riding with them that day.
Days after the frightening collision in Temecula, California, the 52-year-old actress broke her silence in an emotional Instagram video. She recounted the moment a speeding driver allegedly blew through a red light and headed straight for her vehicle. With seven children on board, she credits a higher power—and her own quick reflexes—for preventing an unthinkable outcome.
“We are so grateful and so lucky, because it could have been so much worse,” Spelling said, visibly shaken but relieved .
The incident occurred just days before Easter when Spelling was driving her SUV. She claimed the other driver was traveling at an extreme speed. In the harrowing seconds before impact, she noticed the vehicle barreling toward the passenger side where the kids were seated.
“In a split second, I looked to my right and I saw he was coming full-on, full impact into the side of our car,” she detailed. “I turned hard left, as hard as I could, as fast as I could, to avoid as much impact on the children as possible” .
The maneuver caused the other vehicle to spin them out, but it likely minimized the force of the crash. Authorities confirmed that all eight occupants were transported to the hospital via ambulance, suffering from cuts, bruises, and possible concussions.
Despite the damage to her vehicle, Spelling insists that guardian angels were present. She extended her deepest thanks to the first responders who arrived at the chaotic scene and the medical staff at Inland Valley ER in Wildomar.
“I’m grateful to everyone who has reached out and repeatedly checked on us… and all the blessings everyone has sent,” she said . While the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and has made no arrests, Spelling is currently focused on the emotional recovery of her family.
“Still putting my thoughts together about everything that happened,” she admitted. “Just so much gratitude for life and the bravery of all the kids in the car”.
