Prison Break star involved in fatal car accident

A sport utility vehicle carrying Lane Garrison of TV's "Prison Break" and three teenagers struck a tree, killing a 17-year-old boy, police said.

Two 15-year-old girls inside the vehicle were also injured, one critically, during the late Saturday night accident, police said. Garrison, 26, had minor injuries.

The vehicle jumped a curb and hit a tree. Authorities were trying to determine who drove the SUV, which was registered to Garrison.

The boy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he died. His name was not released. The conditions of the girls were not immediately released.

TMZ reports:
"The Prison Break star Lane Garrison displayed symptoms of alcohol intoxication after a crash involving an SUV he was driving that killed a 17-year-old boy late Saturday night in L.A, according to the Beverly Hills Police.

They also learned that alcohol containers were removed from Garrison's car.

Two 15-year old girls were also in the car at the time of the incident and one is in serious condition at Cedars-Sinai Hospital."

Braun is Garrison's new high power attorney. He says Garrison was at a local supermarket earlier in the evening when the trio recognized him in the checkout line and asked him if he wanted to go to a party.

"Braun says Garrison went to the party and had one drink. Braun says Garrison also had one margarita at a Mexican restaurant that night, but that was the extent of his alcohol consumption. He tells TMZ that as Garrison was leaving the party to meet a woman at his apartment, the three teens asked to accompany him.

Braun says Garrison has no recollection of the accident, which he says rendered him unconscious.

In fact, Braun claims Garrison's first memory was waking up at the Century City Hospital emergency room with a taxi coupon on his lap that had been given to him by hospital staff so he could get home.

Braun says he was not told by hospital personnel that someone had died. He learned of the death later from a friend, Braun says, and was "totally despondent."

Braun says a sample of Garrison's blood was taken at the hospital, but it could take several weeks before the results are in. Braun says he doubts Garrison was intoxicated, but also says, "Who knows if someone put something in his drink at the party."

Braun also says Garrison's Land Rover had been experiencing alignment issues as of late and had been pulling to one side, and added that the SUV had brake problems. Braun says he is forwarding repair receipts to the police.

According to Braun, "Nobody knows what happened, it's a mystery."

This is so sad. I can't help but wonder what a 26 year old man was doing with three teenage kids. And why would he go to some underage party with them? This all stinks if you ask me. And it's not smelling like roses.
