Tori Spelling, best known for her role in "Beverly Hills, 90210," is now recovering after a frightening two-car crash in Temecula, California, that also involved a group of children traveling with her.

Authorities responded to the scene just before 6 p.m. on Thursday, where they found two vehicles with visible damage following the collision. All occupants were evaluated and later transported for medical care.

Chaos Unfolds on a Quiet Evening Road

According to law enforcement sources, everyone involved in the crash was assessed at the scene. No arrests were made, and officials confirmed that the investigation remains ongoing as they work to determine the cause.

Sources familiar with the situation revealed that Tori had been driving seven children at the time — four of her own and three of their friends — when another driver allegedly ran a red light while speeding, triggering the crash.

The other vehicle was reportedly left heavily damaged, while Tori's car sustained less severe impact. Still, emergency responders took no chances, transporting Tori and the children to a nearby hospital in three separate ambulances.

Injuries, Fear, and a Narrow Escape

Medical teams treated those involved for a range of injuries, including cuts, bruises, contusions, and concussions. Fortunately, all individuals were released later that same night.

Sources said Tori's quick thinking behind the wheel may have helped prevent an even worse outcome, as she reportedly maneuvered the vehicle to reduce the force of impact.
