The 50-year-old was reportedly riding in a Chauffeur-driven SUV with two other passengers when their vehicle was flipped over.
Witnesses told TMZ that they were ‘side-swiped’ by another car. All three passengers were immediately rushed to hospital for treatment.
The publication reports that Ferrell has since been released from the facility and did not suffer ‘any significant injury’.
Ferrell was photographed immediately after the incident speaking on a mobile phone while being stretchered off the scene by firefighters.
The crash happened in Orange County, California, on the I-5 freeway around 11pm local time.
Ferrell was not driving the car; he was one of three passengers in the Chauffeur driven vehicle, all of whom were taken to hospital.
The actor was travelling back from a Funny or Die event – the comedy sketch website he founded with Adam McKay and Chris Henchy – where he appeared as his famed Anchorman character Ron Burgundy.
Ferrell is best known for appearing in numerous comedy movies, including Zoolander, Talladega Nights, and Step Brothers.
The Independent has contacted Ferrell’s representatives for further comment.
