"Prison Break" star Lane Garrison, who plays Tweener on the hit show, 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.
Garrison was driving his Land Rover SUV, with three teenagers riding in it, when the vehicle struck a tree at 11:52 p.m., killing a 17-year-old male passenger, and injured two 15 year old girls, one of whom is still in a serious condition at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Garrison himself, only suffered minor injuries.
Beverley Hills police have revealed that investigators removed alcohol containers from the vehicle, which was registered to the actor.
Garrison's attorney, Harland Braun, says the actor had a margarita with dinner but was not driving under the influence and was knocked unconscious in the accident. Instead, Braun pointed to a possible problem with the brakes in the SUV.
Braun says Garrison had met the teens that night at a grocery store, where they invited him to attend a party. At the time of the accident, he says, the group was leaving the gathering and he was driving them back to a grocery store.
