Although the vehicle with Anne Heche crashed into the home, the homeowner was not injured. They were reported to have been in their backyard at the time of the crash. Furthermore, a neighbor gave a statement regarding the event and explained how crazy it was.
“The house was tons of smoke. I think they used the crane to move the car to extract the driver,” they stated. “It was crazy.”
Furthermore, Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department stated that the car finally “stopped within a 738-square-foot two-story home that was built in 1952.”
“Fifty-nine Firefighters took 65 minutes to access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure, and rescue one female adult found within the vehicle, who has been taken to an area hospital by LAFD Paramedics in critical condition,” Humphrey said.
“Anne is in the ICU, she’s lucky to be alive. She has severe burns and has a long recovery ahead. Her team and her family are still trying to process what led up to the crash,” a source close to Heche told CNN Saturday morning.
