The actor Dylan Walsh was involved in a major car crash over the weekend that left passengers injured.
The 61-year-old Nip/Tuck star — whose costar Julian McMahon died last month from cancer — was in an SUV with four other people on Sunday, August 17, when it collided with a utility pole in Rumson, New Jersey, according to TMZ.
According to the Rumson Borough Police Department, the crash was serious enough that two people in the vehicle were taken to then nearby Riverview Medical Center for treatment after they complained of pain at the scene.
It’s unclear who was driving the vehicle — a 2022 Ford Explorer — and it’s also unknown who required medical attention after the crash, which caused significant damage to the SUV.
The Daily Mail has contacted Walsh’s representative for comment but hasn’t yet received a response.
In a statement to TMZ, the actor’s representative said: ‘Over the weekend, Dylan Walsh and his family were involved in a car accident in Rumson. Thankfully, everyone is safe and has since returned home.

‘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.
