Actor Justin Mentell Killed In Car Accident

Wisconsin authorities have reported that "Boston Legal" actor Justin Mentell has died from injuries sustained in a car accident.

Mentell, age 27, died Monday after driving his Jeep off the road and down an embankment while hitting two trees in a remote area of Wisconsin.

He was by himself in the car and was not wearing a seat-belt. The actor was thrown from the car and pronounced dead at the accident scene about 8:30 Monday morning.

Cops believe the accident occurred around 3:00 a.m.

Justin played the role of attorney Garrett Wells on "Boston Legal" from 2005-2006.

Last year, Mentell played Terrell in the fantasy adventure "G-Force" appearing with Sam Rockwell, Will Arnett, Nicolas Cage, Tracy Morgan, Penélope Cruz and Steve Buscemi.

"G-Force" told the story of a specially trained squad of guinea pigs that is dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world.
