‘general Hospital’ Star Haley Pullos Arrested For Dui In Wrong-Way Crash On Freeway In Pasadena

by

PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) — “General Hospital” star Haley Pullos was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a wrong-way crash that occurred last month on the 134 Freeway in Pasadena, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

Pullos and a 23-year-old man were hospitalized after the violent collision, which occurred shortly before 1:30 a.m. on April 29, according to the California Highway Patrol. Both drivers suffered major injuries, the CHP said.

The 24-year-old Pullos was driving a white 2019 Ford, while the other driver was in a white 2020 Kia. Photos released by the Pasadena Fire Department show both vehicles mangled on the freeway, with debris scattered across several lanes.

The CHP said Pullos was traveling westbound in eastbound lanes before the moment of impact. Pasadena firefighters responded to the scene of the two-vehicle crash and used the jaws of life to extract Pullos from her car.

“Pullos was ultimately arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving the wrong way on a freeway, causing injury,” the Highway Patrol said in a statement.

Investigators determined that Pullos was also involved in a hit-and-run crash in Pasadena before she drove onto the 134 Freeway, the news release said. Details about that crash were not disclosed.

ABC Daytime Television had no comment when reached by ABC7.

What California law says after a car accident

Reporting requirements after a California collision

California imposes reporting duties on drivers that are separate from any insurance claim.

A report must be filed with the DMV on form SR-1 within ten days of a collision that caused any injury, any death, or more than one thousand dollars in property damage to any one person. This duty applies regardless of fault, applies even when police responded and wrote their own report, and is not satisfied by notifying an insurance company. With current repair costs, most collisions that involve a body shop meet the damage threshold.

A separate rule covers collisions causing injury or death. The driver must make a written report to the California Highway Patrol, or to the city police department where the collision happened in a city, within twenty four hours. The statute states this duty for every injury or fatal collision. In practice, where officers responded and completed a report at the scene, that report generally satisfies the agency’s need, but a driver who assumes this without confirming it is relying on practice rather than on the text of the law.

Missing the DMV deadline can lead to suspension of driving privileges, an outcome unrelated to who caused the collision.

California filing deadlines for injury and death claims

In California, a lawsuit for personal injury caused by another person’s negligence generally must be filed within two years of the injury, under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. A claim for a death caused by another’s wrongful act or neglect runs under the same two-year period.

Shorter deadlines apply in specific situations. If a city, county or state agency may be responsible, a written claim must normally be presented to that public entity within six months. Claims involving minors, injuries that are not discovered right away, and certain defendants can follow different timelines.

Which deadline applies depends on the facts of each situation, and the standard two-year period does not govern every claim.
