The celeb news outlet also reports that Heche was driving a blue Mini Cooper and first crashed into the garage of an apartment complex before later crashing into a nearby house. Residents of the apartment building attempted to get Heche out of the car but the actress sped off before they could assist her. Shortly thereafter, Heche crashed into the house in Los Angeles’ Mar Vista neighborhood, setting the the building ablaze a little before 11 a.m. local time.
A photo of Heche obtained by TMZ appears to show a red-capped bottle in her vehicle which the outlet speculates could be a bottle of alcohol. The incident is still being investigated by Los Angeles authorities.
Video of Heche being taken away on a stretcher appears to show her charred clothes. Covered in a white cloth, she reportedly sat up at one point while on the stretcher and flailed wildly before being put into an ambulance.
