Answer 1

I was having trouble with all of the other answers, and then I found that you can simply override the event in the class.

class Car
  state_machine do
    ...
    event :crash do
      transition any => :crashed
    end
  end
  def crash(current_driver)
    logger.debug(current_driver)
    super
  end
end

Just make sure to call "super" in your custom method
