The 53-year-old “Gone Away” actress was reportedly driving her blue Mini Cooper on a suburban street in Los Angeles around noon when she crashed into the garage of an apartment complex. According to TMZ, witnesses tried to help Heche out of the vehicle, but she reportedly backed up and drove off before crashing into another home where her car “engulfed” in flames. A bottle with a red cap was seen in the car’s cup holder shortly before the crash. Aerial video footage from the scene shows smoke billowing out of the house it crashed into. We apologize, but this video failed to load. Sources told TMZ Heche is currently intubated at the hospital, but “expected to live.” One added: “Her condition prevents doctors from running any tests to determine if she was drink driving.” Famous for her romantic romance with Ellen DeGeneres in the 1990s, Hatche has opened up about her past battle with substance abuse. He told ABC News in 2020: “I was drinking. i smoked I did drugs. I had sex with people. I did everything I could to get the shame out of my life.” She added that her hedonism was a result of her painful childhood stemming from sexual abuse by her father, Donald Heche. “I’m not crazy. But it’s a crazy life. I grew up in a crazy family and it took 31 years to get the crazy out of me,” he added.
