Local affiliate KTLA reports that the vehicle jumped a curb, struck a 4-foot-tall brick pillar holding a mail box and then overturned, reported to the news outlet by Los Angeles County sheriff Lt. Greg Sisneros.
“The 18-year-old actor was awake and talking following the crash, Sisneros said. He had been alone in the car and was taken to Huntington Hospital in nearby Pasadena.
Sisneros had no information on his condition.”
Osment was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 1999 for The Sixth Sense in which he played a boy with extra sensory perception. He also appeared in director Steven Spielberg’s Artificial Intelligence: AI, and director Mimi Leder’s Pay It Forward. Osment’s next role is the upcoming Home of the Giants directed by Rusty Gorman. Osment portrays “Gar,” a high school journalist covering a basketball team as it heads toward the state championship.
