Actress Haley Pullos was involved in a tragic car accident in Pasadena, California, and has since been charged with DUI.
According to reports, the incident occurred on April 29. Pullos allegedly swerved, jumped a median barrier, and started moving into oncoming traffic while she was driving on the 134 Freeway, according to TMZ.
The actress eventually crashed into a car that was moving at roughly 60 mph, according to aceshowbiz.com. Both cars were in utter disarray following the crash, as seen in a series of pictures from the scene that the Pasadena Fire Department also shared on Twitter.
“Pasadena Fire units responded to a traffic collision requiring rescue at the 134 Freeway/Orange Grove exit early this morning. Arriving units found two vehicles involved, with one person trapped, after a reported head-on collision,” authorities wrote in a Facebook post.
It continued: “Fire personnel extricated one person from a vehicle and provided patient care and hospital transport for the occupants of both vehicles. The cause is unknown but always a reminder to stay within the speed limit, avoid drinking and driving and never be distracted by passengers, phones, etc.”
TMZ went on to share that the actress, who plays Molly Lansing-Davis on the soap drama, had to be pried out of her car by Pasadena firefighters and officers later found marijuana edibles and mini-bottles of tequila.
According to the allegation, she allegedly exhibited slurred speech and smelled of alcohol. She reportedly got into a fight with the rescue workers as well, telling one firefighter who was looking at her injuries, “This is a $400 f**king shirt!”
Things got rough after the collision to the point where Pullos needed to be sedated, and she ended up arguing with the medical team. The other driver, who suffered major injuries, was hospitalized, according to the news outlet.
Haley acknowledged the car accident in an interview with Soap Opera Digest and mentioned that she would be missing a few episodes of “General Hospital.”
“Unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident and I’m doing okay, but I am going to need a little time to recover. I will be back as soon as possible,” she said.
Holiday Mia Kriegel was tapped to replace Pullos temporarily. Kriegel will reportedly make her onscreen debut on its May 22 episode.
