The actor Dylan Walsh was involved in a major car crash over the weekend that left passengers injured.

Dylan Walsh, the 61-year-old actor from Nip/Tuck, was involved in a car accident on Sunday, August 17, along with four others, when their SUV collided with a utility pole in Rumson, New Jersey. This incident comes shortly after his costar Julian McMahon passed away last month due to cancer, as reported by TMZ.

The Rumson Borough Police Department described the crash as severe, indicating that two individuals from the vehicle needed to be taken to Riverview Medical Center for treatment after feeling pain at the site of the occurrence.

Details remain unclear regarding who was driving the 2022 Ford Explorer or which passengers required medical attention following the accident that left the SUV with major damage.

The Daily Mail has contacted Walsh’s representative for comment but hasn’t yet received a response. 

A representative for Walsh spoke to TMZ, confirming: ‘Over the weekend, Dylan Walsh and his family experienced a car crash in Rumson. Thankfully, everyone involved is safe and has since returned home.’

Dylan Walsh, recognized for his role in the series Nip/Tuck, was part of an unusual single-vehicle crash that resulted in two hospitalizations over the weekend, according to TMZ’s report on Wednesday; pictured in NYC in July 2024.

Walsh gained fame starring alongside Julian McMahon in FX’s medical drama Nip/Tuck. McMahon, who passed away in July after battling cancer, is fondly remembered by fans; shown in a scene from Nip/Tuck.

‘The family is deeply grateful for the swift response of the Rumson Police, Fire Department, and EMS, as well as the staff at Riverview Medical Center for their care,’ they continued. 

‘They would also like to extend a special thank-you to the management and staff of The River Point Inn for their support in the immediate aftermath.’

Rumson is a tony community known for supporting commuters working in New York City. 

The Rumson Patch previously reported on the crash, but Walsh’s connection to it wasn’t detailed. 

Rumson Police Lt. Christopher Isherwood told the outlet that the SUV was traveling in the northbound lane of a local street before it veered without explanation into the opposing lane.

The Explorer then crashed into a utility pole, but it kept driving before it hit and damaged a second pole. 

Police were called to the scene around 5 p.m. on Sunday, but the intersection by the crash was kept closed until 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning to allow crews to replace the damaged utility poles. 

The crash reportedly knocked out power for eight neighboring residents, though their power was restored later on Sunday evening.

Walsh shares two children — daughter Amelie Bell, 13, and son Hudson Scott — with his third wife, Leslie Bourque (pictured in 2015 in NYC). They tied the knot in June 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana, but have been together since at least 2010

Photos of the crash show that the SUV had ridden up onto the sidewalk and was stopped in front of a large wooden pole. 

The front of the vehicle was significantly damaged, and debris from the crash was littered around it, along with a metal street sign. 

According to the local news outlet Towns Of: Monmouth County, NJ, Walsh’s wife Leslie Bourque wrote about the crash in a since-deleted Facebook post.

‘It was our family who was involved in the car accident on River Road yesterday afternoon. We just want to thank everyone who took care of us in this scary time,’ Bourque reportedly wrote. ‘1st of all to the managers/staff at River Point Inn who immediately ran out to make sure we were ok and comfort our kids (literally one lady wrapped her arms around all of us letting us know it would be ok) — bringing ice bags and the fancy Evian water bottle.’

She continued, thank the ‘first responders who came faster than one would think,’ as well as the ‘EMT who put up with my corny jokes in the ambulance. And the ER staff at Riverview Medical.’

Walsh’s wife included an update on how her family members were doing after the crash.

‘We are a bit bruised from seatbelts, but grateful for them and air bags which saved our lives,’ she concluded. ‘We apologize for anyone who lost power or inconvenience.’

Walsh shares two children — daughter Amelie Bell, 13, and son Hudson Scott — with Bourque, who is his third wife. The couple tied the knot in June 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana, but they have been together since at least 2010. 

He was previously married to Boogie Nights actress Melora Walters — with whom he shares two adult children, Thomas and Joanna — from 1996 to 2003, and he later married the actress Joanna Going, with whom he welcomed his daughter Stella in 2003. Walsh filed to divorce Going in 2010. 

Walsh’s son Thomas, who is a chef, made headlines in March 2023 after he saved a drowning driver after his car drove into Baltimore Harbor.

Thomas was left with a bloodied, injured hand after he jumped into the harbor and punched a car window until it broke, allowing him to pull the driver — who was reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis — to safety and swim to shore.
