A witness said it appeared Trout was trying to avoid another crash on the freeway when the brakes on his Mercedes-Benz locked up and he struck another vehicle.

A female driver in that other car was trapped and had to be extricated by rescue crews. She was transported to a local hospital, but an update on her condition was not immediately available.

The Angels' general manager released the following statement via Twitter:

Trout, who did not play Wednesday night, was seen walking around and talking to firefighters after the crash.
