The actor, who won an Academy Award for his
pitch-perfect portrayal of Ray Charles, found
himself thrown into an unfamiliar part on Monday
when he heard a crash outside the gates of his
home in Hidden Valley, a secluded enclave north
and west of Los Angeles in Ventura County.

Brett Kyle, 32, of Newbury Park, California, was
driving "at a high rate of speed" around 8:30
p.m. PT when he flipped his 2007 Toyota Tacoma
into a drainage ditch, according to a California
Highway Patrol report.

"It struck a drainage pipe and concrete
casing causing the vehicle to roll over
multiple times," the report read. "The
vehicle came to rest on its passenger side,
and became engulfed in flames with Mr.

Kyle trapped inside his vehicle."
That's when two men "ran to the burning,
overturned truck in an attempt to free the
driver," according to the report.

"One of the witnesses retrieved a rescue
tool from his vehicle allowing the two
citizens to break the window, cut the seat
belt, and extricate the driver," the report
stated.

Kyle was later taken to Los Robles Hospital and
Medical Center for his injuries and charged with
driving under the influence of alcohol, police
said.
