Britney Spears visited a California hospital early Thursday morning, March 5, after being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence.
California Highway Patrol officers transported the troubled pop star to the hospital "immediately" after pulling her over in order to draw blood and determine her blood alcohol content, sources close to Spears revealed to TMZ shortly after news broke about her shocking DUI arrest.
The "Toxic" singer was reportedly driving her vehicle alone when she was stopped by police in Westlake Village, which is not too far from Spears' home.
Britney Spears' BAC Was Below Legal Limit Despite Arrest
The pop star was transported to the hospital to determine her BAC level.
While Spears did not sustain any injuries, she was still brought to the hospital to test her BAC levels — which sources claim was .06.
In California, the legal BAC limit is .08 percent, however, cops can still charge an individual with a DUI if they observe erratic driving or related behavior.
Spears arrest and hospital visit comes as fans and friends remain panicked over the "Circus" singer's mental health.

He noted Spears' sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, are "going to be spending time with her" as she recovers from the incident.
"Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being," Hudson concluded.

Princess of Pop's Fans Sound the Alarm
Britney Spears was previously in a 13-year abusive conservatorship until November 2021.
Other supporters of the Princess of Pop slammed Cade's reaction to her arrest.
"It won't turn out well. Your loved ones are your family that exploited you. We need Britney Spears' version and if she needs help, let her express it!!!! TeamCon must not return!!!!! #FreeBritney F--- CADE!!!" one social media user wrote via X.
"Don't let it be a TeamCon trick to get their hands on Britney Spears again right now that she sold her catalog. We're watching you, Cade!! Keep your hands off, no 'plan for Britney' will turn out well. We only believe what Britney Spears says #JusticeForBritney," the same fan penned in another post.
Another individual similarly added: "Let them try to trap Britney Spears and see that we won’t riot and burn down the court houses BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION."
