Mel Gibson doing "fine" after car crash

Mel Gibson was involved in a car accident after his 2008 Maserati sports car crashed into a Malibu hillside. Gibson reportedly lost control of his car and ended up striking the rocky hills.

According to the California Highway Patrol report, obtained by TMZ, "For unknown reasons, Mr. Gibson steered his car to the right and struck the rock hillside. He stopped his car at the scene and was contacted by officers from the West Valley CHP Area."

CHP Public Information Officer Leland Tang tells TMZ ... "Gibson told officers in the field he did not know how the car drifted out of the lane and into the hillside." Tang said his officers followed up by asking Gibson if he was on a cell phone and he said no. Tang adds officers also asked Gibson if he had dozed off "but he did not give a firm 'yes' or 'no'." Gibson just repeated several times, "I don't know how the car left the roadway."

"Mr. Gibson supplied all the pertinent information to the officers at the scene, gave a statement, and received a ride home from a friend."
CHP spokesman Leland Tang shared that there's no sign of alcohol in this incident, "There were no objective symptoms of intoxication, any level of impairment and we've ruled out speeding as well based on the damage to the car, which was moderate. Mr. Gibson was alert, oriented and cooperative."

Gibson is not injured in this incident, a rep for the actor said "He's fine."

It seems Gibson needs some luck! He is sill facing a nasty custody dispute over his daughter with his baby mama/singer Oksana Grigorieva plus the alleged assault.
