Mel Gibson in Alcohol-Free Car Crash
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Mel Gibson was involved in a car crash last night.
Gibson was driving his 2008 Maserati on the Malibu Canyon Road in California at around 8:35pm when the accident occurred, but escaped unharmed. According to TMZ, a report by the California Highway Patrol read, “For unknown reasons, Mr. Gibson steered his car to the right and struck the rock hillside. He stopped his car at the scene and was contacted by officers from the West Valley CHP Area.”
Officer Leland Tang said Mel was alone in the car and no drugs or alcohol were involved, but admitted the actor was baffled as to what had gone on: “Gibson told officers in the field he did not know how the car drifted out of the lane and into the hillside. It was totally an unintentional act.”
Although Mel denied being on the phone at the time of the accident, he would not confirm whether or not he had fallen asleep behind the wheel. Mel cooperated with officers and was given a lift home by a friend after his vehicle was towed away.

Heather Locklear Arrested for DUI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Photos, Mug Shots,
UPDATE: Thanks to a plea deal, Heather has been given three years probation.
Three months after seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, actress Heather Locklear was arrested for a DUI. The 47-year-old was detained by the California Highway Patrol on Friday after a witness called 911.
Locklear, who was originally spotted driving erratically in a parking lot, was later seen parked on the side of the highway. According to the police report, “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane.”
This incident happened almost exactly 6 months after Heather’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora, was pulled over for drunk driving.
Although alcohol was not a factor in Locklear’s case, it’s believed the disoriented star had been under the influence of prescription medication at the time. Heather was later booked at the Santa Barbara CHP office where she eventually posted $5000 bail.
