Former 'General Hospital' Star Haley Pullos Denies Being Responsible for Car Crash Which Led to Her DUI Arrest, Demands Lawsuit Be Dismissed
General Hospital star Haley Pullos is not taking responsibility for the car crash that led to her DUI arrest.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the former soap actress asked a Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss the civil lawsuit brought by Courtney Wilder, whom she was involved in an April 2023 car crash with.
"The damages alleged in the complaint occurred and were proximately caused by either the sole negligent and/or intentional conduct of Plaintiffs, which sole negligent and/or intentional conduct bars Plaintiff’s recovery, or were contributed by Plaintiffs’ negligent and/or intentional conduct, and Plaintiffs’ recovery, if any, should be reduced by an amount proportionate to the amount by which Plaintiffs’ negligent," the filing by Pullos' attorney read.
The Good Deed star claimed any damage caused was outside of her control and requested Wilder be awarded nothing.
Wilder brought the lawsuit against Pullos after the April 2023 accident occurred. The star allegedly drove the wrong way on a freeway, causing the crash. When authorities arrived on the scene, Pullos was taken into custody and arrested for driving under the influence.
According to the police, the Dead Air alum reportedly swerved and flew over the divider into oncoming traffic while driving 60 miles per hour. Per the report, when Pullos was pulled from her damaged vehicle, she allegedly yelled, "This is a $400 f------ shirt."
