Nip/Tuck Star Dylan Walsh Suffers Stroke Before New Jersey Crash

Dylan Walsh, known for his role in Nip/Tuck, was involved in a serious car crash in Rumson, New Jersey, in mid-August, which his representative revealed was preceded by a stroke he suffered while driving. The 61-year-old actor's 2022 Ford Explorer struck two utility poles, causing significant damage and leading to power outages in the area. Walsh was accompanied by his wife Leslie Bourque-Walsh, two juveniles, and another adult at the time of the accident; Leslie was reported to have been shouting about removing a bag of hard seltzer cans found in the vehicle. Despite Walsh admitting to drinking alcohol at a bar prior to the crash, his blood alcohol content was reportedly below the legal limit, and he has not been charged with DWI, though he received six motor vehicle violation citations including reckless driving and possession of an open container. Walsh's appearance at the scene was described as red and confused, which police initially found concerning, but his rep attributed this to time spent at the beach. The family is recovering, and authorities and local responders were praised for their swift assistance following the incident.
