US actress Anne Heche is reportedly in a coma and has not regained consciousness following a collision that left her vehicle “engulfed in flames”.
Heche, 53, was taken to hospital following the incident on Friday morning (August 5) in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles and remains in a critical condition. She is the former partner of US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres – the pair began dating in 1997 before separating in 2000 – and is known for films including Donnie Brasco, Cedar Rapids and the 1998 Psycho remake.
In a statement shared with US media outlet People, her representatives said: “She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention. She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.”
