“That’s a freaking $400 shirt!” she reportedly yelled.

During a search of her car, officers said they found cannabis edibles and miniature bottles of tequila. At the hospital, Pullos showed “clear signs that she had been driving under the influence,” with officers noting that she smelled of alcohol and suffered from slurred speech and watery eyes.

The daytime star also reportedly became aggressive and attempted to argue with hospital staff before being sedated.

“Pullos was eventually arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving the wrong way on a freeway, which resulted in injuries,” the California Highway Patrol said in a statement.

TMZ also reported that Pullos may have been involved in a hit-and-run accident prior to the horrific highway crash.

Social media posts by the Pasadena Fire Department after the collision showed both cars were almost unrecognizable. “Earlier this morning, PFD responded to a traffic accident that required rescuing the occupants of both vehicles,” the message said, alongside a series of photos. “The cause is unknown but always a reminder to obey the speed limit, avoid alcohol and not use the phone.”

Last week, Pullos – who played Molly Lansing-Davis General Hospital since 2009 – told Soap Opera Digest that she was taking a break to recover from the accident.

She said in a statement: “Unfortunately I was involved in a car accident and I’m fine, but I will need some time to recover. I’ll be back as soon as possible!”

For the time being, Pullos’ character has been temporarily recast, with Holiday Mia Kriegel stepping in for the role as of May 22nd.
