(CNN)A woman crashed her car into a house in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles on Friday, setting both the vehicle and the house on fire, authorities say. A person familiar with the matter told CNN that the driver was actress Annie Haye.
Los Angeles Police Public Information Officer Jeff Lee told CNN that the driver was traveling too fast when she ran off the road and crashed into a residence. The impact caused the car to burn and the driver suffered burns. She was taken by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics to a local hospital in critical condition. “It took firefighters more than an hour to access, contain and completely extinguish the stubborn flames in the heavily damaged structure,” the LAFD said.
No other injuries were reported.
CNN has reached out to Heche’s representatives for comment.

Her romantic relationship with Ellen DeGeneres in the late 90s drew intense media attention at the time, much to Heche’s professional disappointment. In a 2021 interview with Page SixHeche said she felt “blacklisted” after their relationship went public.
