Actress Anne Heche reportedly suffered severe burns after her car crashed into a Los Angeles house on Friday morning, several media reports claim.
According to a statement from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), “a solo passenger vehicle struck and came to rest well within a 738 square foot two-story home in the Mar Vista neighbourhood, causing structural compromise and erupting in heavy fire prior to LAFD arrival.”
“Fifty-nine firefighters took 65 minutes to access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure,” the statement published on their website said.
The LAFD added that they rescued one female adult found within the vehicle, who was taken to an area hospital in critical condition by LAFD Paramedics.
The LAFD told Global News they cannot provide further information about the woman involved in the incident due to privacy reasons.
Media outlets such as CNN, Los Angeles Times and CBS suggest that the person involved was 53-year-old actress Anne Heche.
Heche was driving a blue Mini Cooper at the time, according to local media reports.
