It was a wild ride for Anne Heche. The actress drove her blue Mini Cooper into a garage; then into a home, which immediately burst into flames. We relayed that story here so no need for more details.

It appears the actress is going to be OK — though she clearly has a long road ahead in her recovery.
Heche, 53, was transported to the hospital, where she remains today. She is in stable condition, a rep told Entertainment Tonight, but not surprisingly she suffered burns as a result of the accident.
Los Angeles police wouldn’t name Heche, but did tell ET a solo passenger vehicle “struck and came to rest well within a 738-square foot two-story home, causing structural compromise and erupting in heavy fire” before the fire department showed up.
Actor Thomas Jane, once romantically linked to Heche, released a statement to the Daily Mail in which he said that she is “expected to pull through.”
Actor James Tupper, who has a son with Heche, posted a message of his own to social media.
“Thoughts and prayers for this lovely woman, actress and mother tonight anneheche,” he wrote, “we love you.”
Back in 2000, Heche drove from Los Angeles to Fresno, parked her SUV on the roadside, and wearing only a bra and shorts, walked through the desert, stopping only to knock on the door of a stranger’s house. She later admitted to taking ecstasy at the time.
