Mandy Moore is calling out a driver who rear-ended her family in a hit-and-run incident.
On Friday, Aug. 1, the This Is Us alum, 41, revealed on her Instagram Stories that a woman struck her family’s car before speeding off.
“The woman who rear ended my family and then drove off [when] we pulled over, hope your karma finds you,” she wrote in the since-expired post, per Page Six. “Thankfully everyone was OK but what kind of human does that?”
Moore shares three children with her husband, musician Taylor Goldsmith: sons August “Gus” Harrison, 4, and Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett, 2, as well as daughter Louise “Lou” Everett, 10 months. The actress didn’t specify in her post which of her family members were present during the accident.

Moore has been candid about her family’s struggles following the loss of their Los Angeles home in the Eaton Fire in January.
On Feb. 11, she posted a photo of her house on Instagram, sharing that “the contents of our home are a near total loss” due to its proximity to the fires and other burning structures. Moore previously said on Jan. 9 that “miraculously” the “main part” of the house was “still standing.”
“Pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too,” she wrote. “We won’t be there for a very long time as it and the neighborhood itself get sorted out and cleaned and the rebuilding starts.”
Six months after the fires, Moore’s friend and former This Is Us costar Chrissy Metz shared in an interview with Extra that Moore was “doing well.”
“I mean, thank goodness. A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it’s so jarring. It’s so life-altering, and she has children and pets,” Metz said.
In an Instagram update in March, Moore revealed that she and Goldsmith, 39, were ready to begin rebuilding, as she shared photos taken before their home burned down.

The Eaton Fire was one of a series of wildfires in L.A. that left more than 80,000 people displaced, including numerous celebrities, and destroyed more than 1,000 structures. The deadly blaze ignited on Jan. 7 and was fully contained on Jan. 31, along with the Palisades Fire.
Moore and Goldsmith have also been candid about wanting to still have fun as a new family of five amid the loss of their home.

Earlier this week, the Tangled star shared an adorable photo of her family on Instagram as she recounted her time spent at the beach on vacation. In the sweet image, Moore could be seen sitting in the surf alongside her husband while her son Ozzy hung on around her neck.
Sitting beside the star, Gus was pictured squishing his hands into the sand and looking down. Goldsmith propped up the couple’s youngest child, daughter Lou, as she sat in his lap.
Other snaps showed the family enjoying the beach and watching sunsets. “Nothing beats a beach vacation with some of your besties (here’s looking you at you @whatsgabycookin),” Moore wrote in the post’s caption. “What an epic few days, @fspuntamita! We can’t wait to come back (Gus hasn’t stopped talking about it)!!”
