Tori Spelling details horrific car accident involving her children

Tori Spelling says “the guardian angels were definitely with us” after a terrifying car crash that left her, four of her children and three of their friends hospitalized.

The “90210” star broke her silence Tuesday in a video posted to Instagram, saying the ordeal — which happened just days before Easter — was “truly overwhelming” but could have ended much worse.

Tori claims the other driver was “speeding” and ran a red light before heading straight toward her car. She says she saw the impact coming and made a split-second decision to protect the children.

“I turned left as quickly as I could to avoid as much impact on the kids as possible,” she said, adding that the collision still caused them to spin.

She also thanked the first responders and everyone who reached out to her, saying she was still processing everything, but felt incredibly grateful that everyone survived.

We broke the story…the crash happened Thursday when deputies responded to a two-car collision.

Tori was driving with seven children – four of hers and three of their friends – when another driver allegedly ran a red light and hit them.
