The publicist of actress Anne Heche has told reporters that Heche is in stable condition as of Sunday, following a crash in which her car slammed into a stranger’s home.
The crash occurred at 10:55 am last Friday. According to LAPD, Heche was driving in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles “at a high rate of speed" when she “ran off the road and collided” with a home in the neighborhood. Heche's blue Mini Cooper went fully into the house and may have even hit the opposite wall, then burst into flames. The house also caught fire and according to the LA Fire Department, it took 65 minutes for the 59 firefighters on the scene to extinguish it.

A story from TMZ also alleges that Heche got into another accident earlier in the morning, supposedly crashing her car into a wall in the parking lot of a nearby apartment complex and driving away.
