The license plate on the back of the car said "the Amazon" and the driver was Morasca.
According to the police report, Morasca was unconscious and the vehicle was still running. Police reportedly caught the passenger placing a Ziploc bag with syringes in her purse.
Paramedics arrived and administered Narcan.
They said Morasca was fighting and trying to bite them and continued to be combative in the ambulance where she bit a police officer on her arm.
In addition to winning the $1 million grand prize on "Survivor," she was also on Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible," 4th season of "Celebrity Apprentice," "Fear Factor" and VH1's "Celebrity Paranormal Project." Morasca was also a professional wrestler for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and most recently was on "The Amazing Race."
She's originally from Pittsburgh, where several women we spoke to said they were sad to hear the news.
Morasca was taken to a Washington hospital and then flown by medical helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital.
