American actress Anne Heche is in hospital with serious burns in a coma after she drove her car into a house in Los Angeles on Friday. She was previously reported to be in stable condition, but Heche’s spokesperson tells the Los Angeles Times that her condition is critical.

The actress was dragged from her car after the accident by the fire brigade. She lost consciousness not long after, the spokesperson said. She has been in a coma ever since. The actress also suffered serious lung injuries, which required her to use a ventilator.

Anne Heche became known in the 80s for her role in the soap series Another World. Later she also starred in movies like Six Days Seven Nights, Donnie Brasco in Volcano. As a former partner of talk show presenter Ellen DeGeneres, the actress also received a lot of media attention.
