The Wisconsin State Journal reports Mentell’s Jeep went off the road and struck two trees. Mentell, who was driving alone and not wearing seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle.

A farmer from Blanchardville, Wisconsin saw the car while driving along a rural road, the only spot from which the wrecked car was visible, said Chief Deputy Jon Pepper.

The wreck was discovered at 8:30 a.m., officials believe the crash happened around 3 a.m. Mentell was pronounced dead at the scene.

From 2005 to 2006 Mentell appeared as attorney Garrett Wells on ABC’s “Boston Legal” with co-stars James Spader and William Shatner. Mentell most recently played Terrell, a human character, in last year’s animated film “G-Force,” a movie about a specially trained squad of guinea pigs dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world.

Justin was also in the Bow Wow & Nick Cannon movie Roll Bounce, a 1970s roller-skating coming-of-age comedy about teens who rule their local rink and are shocked when their home base goes out of business.
