The spokesperson also confirmed that Spelling, 52, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star, was driving with seven kids in the car — four of her children and three of their friends — when another driver is alleged to have run a red light while speeding and struck their vehicle.
Deputies responding to the scene in Temecula, California, on Thursday found two vehicles with collision damage, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told NBC News. All occupants were evaluated at the scene, and no arrests were made. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
Spelling and the seven children were taken to the hospital via ambulances and treated for cuts, bruises, contusions, concussions and other injuries, according to TMZ, which first reported the incident.
Video obtained by TMZ appeared to show Spelling speaking animatedly with first responders. Photos published by TMZ appeared to show Spelling’s car to be significantly less damaged than the other vehicle involved.
Spelling shares five children with her ex-husband Dean McDermott, who are now ages 9 to 19.
It's not the first time Spelling has been in a car accident with her children.
In 2011, when she had two young children and was pregnant with her third, she said on social media that she "had a pretty big accident" while she was trying to get evade a paparazzo who was following her and her kids to school.
Spelling wrote that she took down a "whole wall" of the school and that she would head to the doctor to check on her unborn child.
“He then STILL got out to try to get pics,” she wrote. “10 school moms chased him away. What will it take? Someone dying for paparazzi to stop?”
