Last week, in a statement released to Soap Opera Digest, “General Hospital” star Haley Pullos (Molly Lansing-Davis) announced she’d be taking time off from the daytime drama series after being involved in an automobile accident. “I’m doing okay, but I am going to need a little time to recover,” she said, adding, “I will be back as soon as possible!” Now comes word that Pullos was arrested for her involvement in the accident, charged with felony DUI.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, on Saturday, April 29, Pullos was on a Pasadena freeway “when she swerved, flew over the dividing barrier, and into oncoming traffic.” She later collided head-on with another vehicle which was going 60 mph. The outlet also published pictures from the scene of the accident.
Pullos is said to have been unable to exit her vehicle and required help from firefighters before being transported by ambulance to the hospital. Allegedly, while being transported, a firefighter was “assessing her injuries when she struck him and shouted, ‘This is a $400 f***ing shirt!’”
After searching her vehicle, police are said to have found “weed edibles and mini-bottles of tequila.”
Upon arriving at the hospital, Pullos was met by officers who at that point determined she’d been driving under the influence, citing the “smell of alcohol on her breath, slurred speech, and watery eyes.”
Pullos was arrested for felony DUI while still at the hospital. She was eventually sedated after “she got aggressive and fought hospital staff.”
As for the driver of the other vehicle, they reportedly survived the accident but were hospitalized with major injuries.
Before the accident, Pullos was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run traffic collision, according to information from police to TMZ.
