Spelling's quick thinking is suggested to have prevented a more severe outcome. While the exact circumstances are still being investigated, eyewitness accounts and initial reports suggest one vehicle may have disregarded a traffic signal.

The accident happened shortly before 6 p.m. on a Thursday. The actress, known for her role in "Beverly Hills, 90210," was reportedly attempting to evade photographers who were following her at the time of the incident, which she described as an effort to "get away from him."

Spelling's children involved include Liam, 19; Stella, 17; Hattie, 14; Finn, 13; and Beau, 9. The crash occurred during what appears to have been a spring break period for the children. Reports indicate that the family has been spending time in Temecula during this break.
