CASPER, Wyo. — Oil City has confirmed reports that online influencer and makeup industrialist Jeffree Star is a patient in a Casper area hospital, following a vehicle rollover crash.

Beck said that initial reports show that a vehicle Star was travelling in hit a patch of slush, slid, and eventually rolled.
The condition of either occupant of the vehicle was not immediately available.
