The police report obtained by RadarOnline.com from Department of California Highway Patrol stated that Ferrell was the passenger of a 2017 Lincoln Navigator that was involved in the two-car collision at 10:50pm on an Orange County, Calif. freeway on April 12.
“2007 Toyota was traveling on I-5, north of La Paz road, in the #2 lane,” the collision report read. “Ferrell’s vehicle was traveling next to the 2007 Toyota in the HOV-lane.”
For an “unknown reason,” the 2007 Toyota “veered into the HOV lane” and “struck the right rear of” the car Ferrell was in.
“The 2017 Lincoln lost control, hit the center divider and overturned,” the report explained.
“All occupants in the Lincoln navigator (4 including driver) were taken to nearby hospitals,” the Public Information Officer told RadarOnline.com of the crash.
“One of the passengers, a 27-year-old woman, was taken to the hospital with major injuries,” the PIO noted.
The police report explained how the woman was not wearing her seatbelt.
The PIO added, “Alcohol and drugs were not a factor. No citations were given and no arrests were made.”
