It makes one realize how easily it can all end due to the actions of another.

Thank you so much @dotr

I’ve learned that once a person becomes psychotic, it is easier for them to become psychotic again. But, it does look like she’s led a normal life for a couple decades, which indicates she may be able to get out of this again, if she survives.

30 minutes on fire? I don’t know how she’s alive at all.

I can't even imagine the pain she must have endured.

My brother-in-law was in a horrific car accident. He’s a firefighter. Fellow firefighters and paramedics responded. They knew him, he was in so much pain he was given something that made a drug/alcohol test useless. He would have failed.

I can't even imagine the pain she must have endured.

I couldn't believe that AH was actually conscious when she was on the gurney In one of the video clips that I've seen, it looks like she is actually trying to sit up with her arms flailing as she is being put into the ambulance! So sad If she survives, Ms. Heche's life is going to be unbelievably challenging. JMO

ETA: The video that I referenced above is within this report: Actress Anne Heche crashes car into Mar Vista home, sparking large fire There is also a still photo that shows burns on Heche's back as she attempts to sit up.

Actress Anne Heche is in "stable" condition after crashing a car into a California home Friday, ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane said, adding Heche is "expected to pull through."

Anne Heche in 'stable' condition after chaotic car crash, 'expected to pull through'

"Six Days Seven Nights" star Anne Heche crashed a car into a Mar Vista, California, home Friday and is now reportedly in "stable" condition, according to her ex-boyfriend.

I believe the danger is infection with burn injuries.

 

[bestill]

I'm a bit confused was she speeding before the first crash too? Or was she stunned by the first crash and that could be why she panicked and sped away. I agree with the poster that said that she could have injured others. Her struggles are only going to be harder. JMO

90 mph=150kmph
More or less.

It is 2 times more than what is allowed in a built up area in my country
(50/60 km ph).

 

[gliving]

She’s in the ICU. I don’t think they cared to test her, had time to test her or needed to at that point. She was intubated.

A toxicology screen would be a routine order if alcohol/drug ingestion was suspected.

A toxicology screen would be a routine order if alcohol/drug ingestion was suspected.

It's possible though that she was fairly immediately administered morphine for pain or another heavy painkiller drug that could interfere with any screening.

Horrible, horrible thing. The poor lady who's house was destroyed, and poor Anne. I have always had a soft spot for her, and I think she is a troubled soul. I hope she pulls through, and has lots of love and support, because this is a life-changing accident and she's got a tough go. I also hope she had very, very good insurance and that lady gets another home. That whole thing would be terrifying to go through, I'd be a nervous wreck on top of losing everything. At least she got her pets out, and wasn't injured.

The speed limit in residential areas of CA is generally 25 MPH. She was flying. I thought I heard in a live broadcast yesterday that there was also a school on the street. Did anyone else read that?

I agree. I was reading a bit about her online yesterday and didn't realize what a torturous childhood she had. A troubled soul indeed.

I think she was driving at least 60 miles per hour over the speed limit, which is more than enough to be charged with reckless driving.

Being in critical condition, taking blood won’t be an issue.

Nor will officers observations.

The video showing the speeding vehicle and hearing the crash will give them most of what they need to know.

IF she was trying to kill herself but survives, she will wish she had succeeded.

Treatment for burns esp. is a dreadful experience, never mind other injuries she may have suffered.

I just hope her insurance and assets are enough to replace the home she burned down.

I am so happy that the pets were saved from the home that burned down.

So sad for the owner who lost her home.

A toxicology screen would be a routine order if alcohol/drug ingestion was suspected.

I see LAPD black uniforms all over the scene with the firefighters (DM photos and videos). If the red cap small bottle in the cupholder is alcohol, or if they smell alcohol, or any other probable cause like crashing straight into a house in a residential T-intersection at 90mph in broad daylight, California police have the authority to order warrantless blood draw per Title 17 (2018):

Forced blood draw in a DUI arrest – Do cops need a warrant?

A relatively new California law involving forced blood draws, in the context of DUI cases, states that no warrant is required for the draw when: an officer directs that a suspect's blood be drawn to measure blood alcohol content (BAC), and the suspect freely and voluntarily chooses a blood test...

www.shouselaw.com

JMO they handle DUI accidents every day in LA and they likely did do a blood draw if not in the ambulance while placing an IV line, then immediately at the ER. OTOH she is a rich celebrity and JMO the handling may be *special* ...

 

[IceIce9]

It's possible though that she was fairly immediately administered morphine for pain or another heavy painkiller drug that could interfere with any screening.

Drug and alcohol screens can differentiate different types of drugs. At the very least they would be able to determine blood alcohol content.

to be charged with reckless driving.

Plus damage of property.

Thank God she didn't kill anybody.

That would be terrible guilt to live with.

Actor Anne Heche 'expected to pull through' following fiery Los Angeles crash, ex says

The crash into a home sparked a “heavy fire,” a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman said.

www.nbcnews.com

By Diana Dasrath and Dennis Romero
''Actor Anne Heche is in stable condition after crashing her car into a Los Angeles home on Friday, her ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane.''

''Jane said Heche is intubated but is "expected to pull through."
"While Anne and I are no longer an item, todays tragic news was devastating to me and to all who love her. My heart goes out to Anne and her two sons," he said in a statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with Anne, one of the true talents of her generation. Thank God no one else was hurt."

''A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said the crash was under investigation and that there was no immediate indication regarding its cause.

It was possible, he said, the patient would be subject to a blood draw as part of the police investigation. In California, police don't need a warrant for a blood draw if a person was arrested on a DUI charge prior to the test.
Such arrests can be made based on officers' observations and circumstantial evidence such as drugs or alcohol in a vehicle.''
