Anne Heche is reportedly in critical condition following a car accident in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, per Deadline. The Emmy-winning actress suffered serious burns after crashing her vehicle into a residential home, which then also caught fire, just before 11 a.m. on Friday. TMZ broke the news.
“The vehicle was heading east on Preston Way at a high rate of speed, entered the T intersection at Preston Way and Walgrove Ave, ran off the road, and collided with the residence in the 1700 block of Walgrove,” a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson told Deadline.
“The vehicle became engulfed in flames and the driver was transported to a local hospital,” police said.
“Fifty-nine firefighters took 65 minutes to access, confine, and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure,” Los Angeles Fire Department representative Brian Humphrey reported, also per Deadline.
According to TMZ, the driver of the blue Mini Clubman, believed to be Heche, had been in a minor accident at a nearby apartment parking structure before speeding off and eventually crashing. Heche’s professional and legal representation did not immediately respond to IndieWire’s request for comment.
Heche broke into Hollywood with the late ’80s soap opera “Another World,” winning a Daytime Emmy in 1991. Across her more than 30 years of TV roles to follow, Heche appeared as a series regular on “Men in Trees,” “Save Me,” “Toxic Skies,” “Hung,” and “The Brave.” She won her first Primetime Emmy in 2004 for her supporting performance in the miniseries “Gracie’s Choice,” opposite Kristen Bell and Diane Ladd.

Fox Show,” “Adventure Time,” “Quantico,” “The Legend of Korra,” “Chicago PD,” and more. She competed on “Dancing with the Stars” in Season 29.
Heche has also appeared in numerous films, even co-directing TV movies “On the Edge” and “If These Walls Could Talk 2.” She’s best on the big screen for her roles in “Six Days Seven Nights,””Return to Paradise,” “Fatal Desire,” “One Kill,” “Donnie Brasco,” and more.
