Shortly after the accident, Anne Heche lost consciousness and fell into a coma. She is in critical condition. She has a significant lung injury that requires mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgery,” the representative said in a statement to The Times. Last weekend it was announced that Heche’s situation was stable.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the accident and has obtained judicial clearance to draw blood from Heche to determine whether she was intoxicated when the accident happened.
59 firefighters
Video has been released by police showing that Heche had caused more damage before she drove her Mini Cooper into the house. She drove into a garage under an apartment, then narrowly missed a pedestrian and rammed into a Jaguar before driving into the house and causing a major fire in the accident. It took 59 firefighters more than an hour to put out the house fire. The resident of the house was unharmed.
Heche has not been arrested and no charges have been filed against her.
