LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, California (AP) -- Actor Haley Joel Osment was hospitalized early Thursday after he apparently lost control of his car while heading to his Los Angeles-area home, authorities said.

Osment, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as a boy who could see dead people in "The Sixth Sense," was driving a 1995 Saturn about 1 a.m. when the car collided with a brick pillar and flipped, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Greg Sisneros.

The 18-year-old actor was awake and talking following the crash, Sisneros said. He had been alone in the car and was taken to Huntington Hospital in nearby Pasadena.

Sisneros had no information on his condition, and an emergency-room receptionist said no one under that name was at the hospital.

Osment is set to appear in the upcoming "Home of the Giants." In the film, he plays a high school journalist covering a basketball team as it heads toward the state championship.

La Canada Flintridge, a suburb of Los Angeles, is about 14 miles northeast of downtown.

18, already? It seemed like he was 14 not too long ago.

A '95 Saturn? Guess acting doesn't pay like it used to. He was 7 when that car was made.

 

[Ryanwb]

He must have saw his reflection in his rear view mirror and freaked out

 

[Chaplin]

He DOES live in La Canada, after all. It's a nice neighborhood just north of Pasadena, but it's nothing like the Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills.

Or it could be he is someone who doesn't need to flaunt and waste his money. That would be awfully refreshing.

This is one of the funniest titles that I’ve read here.

I hope he’s okay, I’ve enjoyed watching a few of his movies.

If I were him I would buy the biggest Mercedes made and then I'd drive right down the middle of the road yelling, "Out of my way! I'm Haley Joel Osment, *******!!!"

Jonathon Taylor Thomas? (I hate people with 3 names)

Didn't he get a massive crack addition or am I thinking of the dorky friend on the Wonder Years

 

[NEZCardsfan]

I thought Paul from the Wonder Years became Marilyn Manson. Or is that the biggest Urban Legend ever??

Yes, definitely an urban legend.

 

[JasonKGME]

Why the heck is he driving a 1995 Saturn??? Did his parents spend all his money???

my initial thought was not that he didn't have any money left, but that he just wasn't super

pretentious.

Super pretentious would be driving a hummer, a mercedes, a caddy, a limo, etc. I was thinking I would be ok with a 2004 Saturn or something, but a 11 year old Saturn?

Looks like he's officially on BIM's DUI Crap-List!

Sixth Sense' star faces jail time

Thursday, August 17, 2006; Posted: 8:21 p.m. EDT (00:21 GMT)

GLENDALE, California (AP) -- Teen actor Haley Joel Osment, who suffered a broken rib last month when his car struck a mailbox, faces up to six months in jail on charges of driving drunk and possessing marijuana, authorities said.

The 18-year-old actor was charged Thursday with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, marijuana possession and driving under the influence with the special allegation of having a blood-alcohol content of .15 percent or higher. He also faces a vehicle code infraction of being under the age of 21 and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .05 or greater.

Osment's blood-alcohol level after the July 20 crash was measured at .16, twice the legal limit, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Osment was scheduled to be arraigned September 19 in Glendale Superior Court.

His attorney will work with authorities to arrange a time for the star of such films as "The Sixth Sense" and "Pay It Forward" to surrender, Robison said. The district attorney plans to request that bail be set at $15,000.

DreamWorks spokesman and family friend Marvin Levy was out of his office Thursday and did not immediately return a call for comment. He said Wednesday that Osment has recovered from his injuries and is preparing to attend college in the fall.

The actor recently finished work on the film "Home of the Giants."

"He's fine. The injuries were slight, not serious," Levy said.

Authorities said Osment was driving home alone about 1 a.m. when his 1995 Saturn hit a mailbox and flipped over.
