Anne Heche was recently hospitalized and admitted to the intensive care unit after suffering a fiery car crash in Los Angeles. On Friday, the actress was reportedly seen driving her blue Mini Cooper before she slammed the vehicle into the garage of an apartment complex.
Shortly after, she drove off the scene at high speed and crashed into another residential house, causing the car to be engulfed in flames. The Los Angeles Fire Department told CNN that the firefighters took over an hour to “access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure.”
Anne Heche suffered severe burns and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, but no other individuals were injured. A neighbor named David Manpearl told the Daily Mail that he helped the homeowner and their pet escape from their house after Heche crashed into the complex.
He then turned to help Heche but had to leave after flames completely took over her vehicle:
“I tried speaking with her a few times asking if she was ok but she wasn’t responding so I had to get closer. I was able to open the back door of the car and crawled half-way inside. This time when I asked her if she was ok, she said no.”
Manpearl said that he was initially convinced that the fire claimed Heche’s life as she was completely “burned up”:
“I was positive that the driver was dead. That she had burned up. It took at least 30 minutes for the fire department to douse the flames, extract the car and pull her out of the car.”
However, Anne Heche’s former boyfriend, actor Thomas Jane, told The Daily Mail that the actress is expected to “pull through” the situation:
“My thoughts and prayers are with Anne, one of the true talents of her generation. Thank God no one else was hurt.”
Another source close to the actress told CNN that Hache is intubated in the ICU, but “she’s lucky to be alive.” The insider also shared that she has “severe burns and a long recovery ahead” but is currently in stable condition.
