LOS ANGELES — New audio files from the Los Angeles Fire Department reveal that actor Anne Heche was trapped in her car for nearly an hour before being rescued at the scene of the fiery crash that led to her death last month.
The clips, which were obtained by Los Angeles' KNBC-TV, detail how firefighters weren’t able to locate Heche’s body for 24 minutes after arriving at the scene and then took 25 minutes to remove her from her car, which was lodged in the back wall of a private residence.
On Aug. 5, Heche was hospitalized with severe burns after crashing her car into the home in L.A.'s Mar Vista neighborhood and causing it to catch fire. Fifty-nine firefighters rushed to the scene and contained and extinguished the fire in 65 minutes.
