Will Ferrell was taken to a California hospital Thursday after the vehicle he was riding in got over flipped in an accident.
The actor, 50, was a passenger in an SUV traveling along I-5 in Orange County when another vehicle struck the side of their car, TMZ reported.
Video from the scene shows Ferrell sitting up in a stretcher and speaking on his cellphone as firefighters lift him into an ambulance.
The Orange County Fire Authority received a call reporting the accident, which occurred in Laguna Hills, shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday, Capt. Larry Kurtz confirmed. He could not reveal the identities of those involved in the accident.
"There were two vehicles involved," Kurtz told The News. "One was a limousine SUV. We have a total of four patients from the SUV. One is a female in her 20s and then three males in their 40s to 50s.
"Three of the patients had minor injuries and were transported to local area hospitals," he said. "One was designated a trauma patient and transported to a local trauma center."
Ferrell's condition is currently unknown. A rep for the actor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A woman who was in the SUV with Ferrell was seen bleeding profusely after the accident, an onlooker told TMZ.
The other car involved in the crash was a sedan, Kurtz said. He said the accident is currently being investigated by California Highway Patrol.
The accident occurred after Ferrell appeared at a function for the online comedy channel he co-founded, Funny or Die, near San Diego, according to TMZ. He reprised his classic "Anchorman" character Ron Burgundy at the event.
