Buchanan was behind the wheel of her black Mercedes heading east on State Route 154, near Santa Barbara when her vehicle swerved across a double yellow line and crashed into an oncoming Ford C-Max at approximately 6:20 a.m. on Wednesday.

"The immediate cause is under investigation -- our understanding is she allowed [her] vehicle to cross the double yellow lines," John Ortega, public information officer for the Buellton office of the CHP told Entertainment Tonight. "There were two parties involved -- a driver in each vehicle."

Following the collision, Buchanan, 53, as well as the driver of the other vehicle, identified as 56-year-old Bradley Asolas, were rushed to the nearby Santa Barbara Cottage hospital. While Buchanan suffered minor injuries and arrested for DUI, Asolas received treatment for "major injuries."

"It is confirmed Jensen Buchanan as the driver of a black Mercedes," Ortega said. "Jensen Buchanan was arrested for DUI -- she had minor injuries and went to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. As far as law enforcement is aware, she is still there. The other party had major injuries and was also taken to Cottage Hospital -- there is no update on his condition."

Buchanan was booked on charges including driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs with injury or death as well as driving under the influence of .08 alcohol causing bodily injury and her bail has been set at $100,000.

The actress portrayed the character of Sarah Gordon on One Life to Live between 1987 and 1990 and the double-role of twins Vicky Hudson and Marley Love on Another World from 1991 through 1999.

Buchanan resumed her acting career in 2015 following a 13-year hiatus to play Judge Elise Moxley on The Young and the Restless. Her other television credits include appearances on As the World Turns and General Hospital.
