"Gibson told officers in the field he did not know how the car drifted out of the lane and into the hillside," Tang said.

Mel denied being on a cell phone, but would not confirm whether or not he may have fallen asleep behind the wheel.

According to Tang, Mel just repeated several times, "I don't know how the car left the roadway."

"It was totally an unintentional act," Tang said and no citation was issued and no charges will be filed.

Mel was not injured.

"Mr. Gibson supplied all the pertinent information to the officers at the scene, gave a statement, and received a ride home from a friend," the CHP report added.
