Chilling footage shows Anne Heche’s car moments before fiery crash

Terrifying doorbell camera footage has been released, showing Anne Heche just moments before her car ploughed into a home and became engulfed in flames.

Ellen DeGeneres’ ex Anne Heche was seen speeding in a Mini Cooper in chilling doorbell camera footage moments before her horror crash.

The Donnie Brasco actress crashed her car into a home on Saturday, which sparked a “heavy fire”, reports The Sun.

The 53-year-old, who’s said to be in a “stable” condition in the hospital, was filmed speeding down a quiet suburban street in Mar Vista.

Moments later, the Hollywood star crashed into a two-storey home nearby.

Emergency crews pulled Anne Heche out of the car and rushed her to the hospital.

It is reported she was driving at speeds of up to 144 kilometres per hour before the crash.

She was pulled from the wreck by neighbour David Manpearl – with his doorbell cam capturing the video of the Mini hurtling down South Walgrove Ave.

“I heard a car go speeding by and looked out my window where I saw the car going about 90 miles an hour,” he told the Daily Mail.

“Within seconds I heard a loud crash at which point I ran outside in my flip flops because I knew someone was hurt and boy was I right.”

No one else was hurt and it’s unclear if anyone was inside the home at the time.

Other footage showed the crash site cordoned off by police tape and charred items believed to belong to the vehicle in the driveway and sidewalk.

Dramatic photos of the wreckage show her mangled vehicle being towed after Anne was dragged out of the flaming car by firefighters.

The 53-year-old was seen squirming in agony on a stretcher before she was rushed to the hospital after the smash at around 11am local time.

The outlet obtained shocking video footage of her appearing to speed down a residential street in her blue BMW Mini Cooper moments before the devastating smash.

The actress can reportedly be heard ploughing into a garage of an apartment complex while residents rushed to her aid.

But Anne instead ignored their attempts to help and put the car in reverse before zooming off again, onlookers claimed.

One witness took a snap of the star, dressed in ripped jeans and a pink tank top, behind the wheel of her damaged motor.

She then careered through a hedge and rammed into a nearby home before her wrecked Mini Cooper burst into flames.

The blaze “was significant and engulfed the house,” sending smoke billowing down the street.

Some firefighters were left battling the “stubborn flames” for 65 minutes, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Law enforcement said the 53-year-old “suffered burns in the fire,” leaving her clothing and hair “charred.”

LAFD Capt Erik Scott said: “We really had a multifaceted incident here.

“We had a significant traffic collision, we had entrapment of a woman inside that, we had a car that erupted into fire, and then we had a home that had significant fire that is red-tagged.

“It’s at this point destroyed.”

In a video obtained by TMZ, she appeared to reach out and try to grab onto personnel while being transported.
