The American actress and director Anne Heche is in critical condition in hospital after a car accident on Friday (5 August). The artist was traveling in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles when her blue Mini Cooper crashed into an apartment complex garage. Since then, the actress has been in hospital in “extremely critical” condition, according to a statement from her publicist.
During the accident, the car caught fire and the actress suffered severe lung injuries and thirddegree burns all over her body, which will require surgery.
After the crash, the local fire department came to the actress’s aid. According to American news, the Los Angeles Police Department received a search warrant to take a blood test from the actress to determine if she was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol at the time of the accident.
