It’s unclear what injuries Will suffered … he was speaking on his phone as firefighters loaded up his stretcher to take him to the hospital. One witness said a woman in Will’s vehicle was more seriously injured, and was bleeding profusely on the scene.
Open beer bottles were seen on the road after the SUV was pulled upright. It’s not clear which vehicle they came out of … and police have not said if alcohol played a factor in the accident.
The actor was apparently on his way back from a ‘Funny or Die’ event outside San Diego, and yes … he appeared as Ron Burgundy.
