Police investigating the crash say that drugs and alcohol played no role in it. Ferrell was on his way home from a “Funny or Die” event at a high school, where he portrayed his Anchorman character Ron Burgundy while he chatted with Billy Eichner. The aim of the event was to encourage young people to vote in California’s upcoming 49th district election.
Fans have been taking to Twitter to send prayers and well-wishes to Ferrell since news of the crash broke:
Somebody please tell me that Will Ferrell is okay?
