Actor Will Ferrell was released from a hospital Friday morning after he was in a car accident the night before in Southern California, his spokesperson told TMZ. He didn't suffer any significant injuries, the spokesperson told the website.

Ferrell wasn't driving, TMZ reports. He was one of three passengers in an SUV.

The California Highway Patrol told CBS Los Angeles that a woman in the vehicle suffered "major injuries" in the incident.

The SUV was sideswiped by another vehicle from the right rear. The SUV then lost control, hit the center divide and overturned.

The driver of the SUV and the third passenger, a man, suffered minor injuries, the highway patrol told CBS Los Angeles. The driver of the other vehicle wasn't believed to be hurt.

Video footage from the scene shows Ferrell sitting on the road and talking with a firefighter.

He was later seen talking on a cellphone as crews loaded his gurney into an ambulance.
