Both Garrett and the female passenger were taken to a nearby hospital and have non-life-threatening injuries, officials said. Both were wearing seatbelts. OSHP troopers said Garrett's injuries were minor.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were factors in the crash, according to OSHP. Traffic charges are pending.
