Tori Spelling is speaking out after her frightening car accident.

“Hi, I just wanted to reach out to everyone. This took me a bit to post, because as most of you know, four of my kids and I and three of their friends were in a car accident a few days before Easter in Temecula,” Spelling, 52, said in a video she shared on Instagram on Tuesday, April 7. “And we’re OK, but it’s been really overwhelming. We are so grateful and so lucky because it could have been so much worse.”

On April 2, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was driving with four of her five children, as well as three of their friends, when they were hit by another car in the Southern California town, which is located midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. The other vehicle allegedly sped through a red light and hit Spelling’s car. She and her passengers were taken by ambulance to the hospital, where they were treated for concussions, cuts, bruises, and other injuries, E! News reported.   

Spelling went on to say that the other driver was “speeding, going crazy, crazy fast” and “went through a light” before hitting her vehicle.

“Guardian angels were definitely with us that day because in a split second I looked and saw he was going to full on impact into the side of our car,” she said. “And I turned hard left as hard as I could, as fast as I could, to avoid as much impact on the children as possible. He spun us out.” 

The So Notorious star also thanked the first responders who took care of her and her kids after the crash. She also said she was grateful to everyone who reached out to check on her.

“Thank you, everybody. Still putting my thoughts together about everything that happened and just so much gratitude for life and the bravery for all the kids in the car for what they went through. So thank you to everyone.”
