Soap opera star Jensen Buchanan was arrested for driving under the influence after causing a car crash in Buellton, California, on Wednesday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

According to the collision report, the 53-year-old actress, best known for her roles in One Life to Live and Another World, also caused major injuries to another driver in the wrong-way crash.

"The immediate cause is under investigation -- our understanding is she allowed [her] vehicle to cross the double yellow lines," John Ortega, public information officer for the Buellton office of the CHP told ET. "There were two parties involved -- a driver in each vehicle."

According to the police report obtained by ET, at approximately 6:19 a.m., Buchanan's vehicle, a black Mercedes S550, drifted across the solid double yellow lines of the road as she was driving eastbound on State Route 154. The documents claim that she drove directly into the path of a driver of a white Ford C-Max, causing a head-on traffic collision.

Police say Buchanan and the other driver, Bradley Asolas, a 56-year-old man from Camarillo, California, were transported to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Buchanan was treated for minor injuries and arrested for DUI. Asolas was treated for major injuries.

"It is confirmed Jensen Buchanan as the driver of a black Mercedes," Ortega also told ET. "Jensen Buchanan was arrested for DUI -- she had minor injuries and went to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. As far as law enforcement is aware, she is still there. The other party had major injuries and was also taken to Cottage Hospital -- there is no update on his condition."

ET has reached out to Buchanan's rep for comment.

It said causing major injuries. She's lucky, if they were life threatening and the other person dies, she could be facing possible man slaughter charges plus the knowledge of knowing she's responsible for someone's death. Just a shame.

Good thoughts for the victim and his recovery...

I think she was probably in the area filming The Bay. They have been up there all week, and she was just cast. I'm interested to see how they handle it as a production.

True! All the best to the victim hey? That's such a terrible situation to be in, when you're behaving like a law abiding citizen and someone else's carelessness results in your injury.

Like Colleen Zenk, Kristoff St. John, Freddie Smith and all the other DUI soap stars before her, my fandom just went from a 10 to a 0.

why does it always seem like the victim ends up far more hurt than the drunk driver? I don't wish anyone hurt, but it's really sad that it's always this way.

They say her blood alcohol level was 0.34. It's pretty low, actually. It's below most BAC limits.

In case someone is interested in BAC limits around the world:

Here is a better comparison BAC chart- the average US limit of .08 is on the higher end not the lower.


http://www.drinkdriving.org/worldwide_drink_driving_limits.php


That list you posted isn't correct.

First, It says that the US average BAC limit is .8 when its .08...

Anyway if you compare that incorrect ".8" limit they have for the US, it's still a higher #/limit than many countries

JB was drinking at 4 times the legal limit....not low by any standard

Thanks. It looks like these articles might use different measurement systems. The one I quoted probably has BAC in promilles (per mille). That's why they have 0.5, 0.8, not 0.05, 0.08.
So, yes, she was very drunk.

Is that 0.34 right?? I am surprised she was conscious, let alone driving.

I downloaded the complaint that's available from one of those articles and snipped this part of it.
