MARK WAHLBERG - WAHLBERG PRAYING FOR CAR CRASH ACTOR

Movie star MARK WAHLBERG has been praying for his SHOOTER co-star LANE GARRISON after learning the embattled actor was responsible for a December (06) car crash that left a teenager dead. PRISON BREAK star Garrison was charged with vehicular manslaughter, and turned himself into the authorities in Los Angeles yesterday (08MAR07). He was driving three teenagers home from a Hollywood party when he lost control of his Land Rover. One 17-year-old passenger was killed and two 15-year-old girls were left with injuries. And while many were quick to blame the 26-year-old actor and criticise his judgment, Wahlberg admits he just wanted to offer his co-star spiritual help. The Oscar nominee says, "I certainly pray for him every single day of my life... I'll speak to Lane and wish him the best. "It was a horrible accident. It's a tragedy for everybody involved and we're just praying for everybody." Garrison was freed on $100,000 (GBP51,200) bail and his arraignment was postponed until 11 April. He faces six years and eight months in prison if convicted.
