‘Nip/Tuck’ Star Dylan Walsh’s Family Survives Terrifying Car Crash in New Jersey
Hi there! I’m Quinn Parker, your over-caffeinated, always-in-the-know aunt who’s ready to dish the latest Hollywood drama faster than you can say “emergency room.” And trust me, this one is a wild ride!
Okay, so let me tell you—this is WILD! Dylan Walsh, everyone’s favorite “Nip/Tuck” heartthrob and longtime TV staple, was involved in a serious car crash that left two people injured. The accident happened in Rumson, New Jersey, on August 17, and it sounds like things got pretty scary, pretty fast.
According to TMZ (and confirmed by local police), Walsh’s 2022 Ford Explorer veered into the wrong lane before slamming into not one, but TWO utility poles. Ouch. The SUV was heading northbound when it suddenly swerved, hitting the first pole, then the second, before finally coming to a stop. Five people were inside the vehicle, and two of them reported pain and were taken to Riverview Medical Center for treatment. As of now, it’s unclear if Walsh himself sustained any injuries or even who was behind the wheel at the time of the crash.
Lucky for all involved, Walsh’s rep released a statement to New York Post, letting the world know that everyone is recovering well and has since returned home. “Over the weekend, Dylan Walsh and his family were involved in a car accident in Rumson,” the rep said. “Thankfully, everyone is safe and has since returned home.” They also thanked the Rumson Police, Fire Department, EMS, and staff at Riverview Medical Center for their quick response and care. Plus, a special shout-out went to The River Point Inn for stepping in during the aftermath.
If this news feels especially heavy, it might be because it comes just weeks after Walsh lost his longtime co-star and friend Julian McMahon. The pair starred together in Ryan Murphy’s hit show “Nip/Tuck” from 2003 to 2010, playing rival plastic surgeons Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy. McMahon passed away peacefully in early July after a private battle with cancer. His wife Kelly shared the heartbreaking news in a heartfelt statement to Deadline, saying, “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans.” She didn’t specify the type of cancer he had been fighting.
Walsh paid tribute to his late friend shortly after the news broke, telling New York Post, “Dear Jules, I know you like to flout the boundaries but this time you’ve gone too far… We’ll laugh hard, the valet will bring up your Hummer, and right behind my hatchback with car seats and bird s–t on the window.” It was a touching, personal farewell that showed just how close the two actors were.
Now, with this new scare involving his own family, it’s clear that Walsh is navigating some intense emotional terrain. But according to insiders, the actor and his loved ones are doing much better and are grateful for the support they received in the wake of the crash.
So what’s next? Well, we’re definitely keeping an eye out for any updates from Walsh as he continues to recover. And honestly, after everything he’s been through lately, we’re just glad he and his family are okay.
Whew! That was a LOT to process!
