Tori Spelling is feeling "grateful" after the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star and four of her children were involved in a serious car crash in California earlier this month.
"We are so grateful and so lucky, because it could have been so much worse," Spelling said in a Tuesday Instagram video, adding that the last few days have been “overwhelming.”
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office previously told NBC News the April 2 crash occurred after another driver allegedly ran a red light while speeding and hit Spelling's car.
Spelling, 52, and seven children — four of her own and three of their friends — were taken to the hospital after the April 2 accident in Temecula, California. The sheriff's officer said at the time that all occupants were evaluated at the scene, and no arrests were made. The cause of the collision, however, remains under investigation.
In the self-style video, Spelling detailed the incident from her point of view, saying that the driver who hit her car was "going crazy, crazy fast."
"I’m just really grateful that in a split second, guardian angels were definitely with us that day, because 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 said.
To avoid impacting the children as much as possible, Spelling said she had to turn hard left as fast as she could, causing them to spin out. TMZ, which first reported the incident, said Spelling and the children were treated for cuts, bruises, contusions, concussions, and other injuries.
"I just want to thank all of the first responders on the scene and to Inland Valley ER that took such great care of all of the kids and myself," Spelling added in the video.
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.
"I’m grateful to everyone who has reached out and repeatedly checked on us and offered to do whatever we needed to get us through this, and all the blessings everyone has sent," Spelling added in the video.
Spelling shares five children with her ex-husband, Dean McDermott. It is unclear which of her four children was in the car involved in the crash.
