Haley Pullos takes break after crash
Pullos, who has played Molly Lansing-Davis in 'General Hospital' since 2009 and has won at least six Young Artist Awards for her role, confirmed the news and told Soap Opera Digest last week on May 11 that she was taking a break from the show to recover from a car accident. She said, "Unfortunately, I was involved in an automobile accident and I'm doing OK, but I am going to need a little time to recover. I will be back as soon as possible!"

According to DailyMail, the actress, who was pulled out of her 2019 Ford, also seriously injured a 23-year-old male driving Kia in the crash. However, this is not the first time. She was involved in another crash with a 27-year-old woman just moments before the April 29 crash. The police report read, "It was determined Haley Pullos was involved in a hit and run traffic collision that occurred in the city of Pasadena prior to entering the wrong way onto the eastbound SR-134 freeway."
The outlet stated that "she collided with an Oldsmobile driven by a 27-year-old woman from Fontana in the westbound lane, before crossing over the median strip." However, no more details about the first crash were shared.
