Former “General Hospital” actress Haley Pullos was sentenced to five years of probation on Monday for a DUI crash last year.
Pullos, 26, had already served three months in jail after pleading guilty to felony drunken driving for going the wrong way on a Los Angeles freeway and crashing into another vehicle on April 29, 2023.
According to a police report, Pullos was on the 134 freeway around 1:30 a.m. when she swerved, jumped a dividing barrier and began heading toward oncoming traffic. She collided head-on with a car going about 60 mph, totaling both vehicles.
First responders found marijuana edibles and mini tequila bottles in her car after pulling the injured actress from the wreckage. The other driver was hospitalized with serious injuries.
California Highway Patrol investigators later learned Pullos was also involved in a separate hit-and-run crash before she got on the freeway.
She was charged with with DUI several weeks later and reached a plea deal in April 2024.
Pullos was initially charged with two felony counts of DUI and one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run, but one of the DUI counts and the hit-and-run count were dismissed as part of her plea deal.
Along with her probation, she was given to 200 hours of community service, ordered to complete a nine-month alcohol treatment program and is prohibited from driving for one year. She must also pay more than $8,200 in restitution to the other driver.
Pullos had appeared on “General Hospital” since she was a child — taking on the role of Molly Lansing-Davis in 2009 — but has not returned to the soap opera since the crash. Several actresses have played the part since.
