Back in February TMZ provided the photo of the truck that was damaged while Penn was at the wheel and alone when it was involved in a single-vehicle crash in Hilo.

Penn was transported by ambulance to Hilo Medical Center. Due to procedural changes, he was not issued a breathalyzer at the time and blood was not drawn.
