The woman whose home was completely destroyed in the Anne Heche car crash has been identified and pictured.
On Friday morning at around 11 am, 53-year-old Emmy Award winner Anne Heche plowed her Mini Cooper into a Mar Vista, LA residence at great speed just moments after getting involved in a minor collision at a nearby apartment complex.
According to the reports, the actress’s car set the house on fire after slamming into the one-story home of Lynne Mishele and going all the way through the ground floor before nearly exiting on the other side.
Following the crash, Heche was extracted from her burning vehicle by first responders and rushed to the hospital where she remains in a coma in critical condition.
While the crash remains under investigation, it has come to light that Mishele’s home was red-tagged immediately after the incident due to the extent of damage done to her property.
Despite losing almost all of her belongings in an instant, the woman is lucky to be alive because she was in the building at the time Heche’s car crashed into it at what the investigators believe could be the speed of more than 90 mph.
Mishele’s neighbors have since launched a GoFundMe page to help the Mar Vista resident recover from the shocking experience and rebuild her home.
“A kind and generous person, Lynne is always first to offer help to others. Today we are asking the community to come together and help Lynne start over. Please, please join us – 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser are going directly to Lynne Mishele,” neighbor Jennifer Durand wrote on the page.
Jenny also revealed that as many as 59 firefighters needed more than an hour to secure the car crash scene after the actress plowed into the building.
“Even more distressing is that Lynne lost her entire lifetime of possessions, mementos, all equipment for her business including her laptop and iPad, all of her clothing and basic necessities, and all household items,” Jennifer added.
“With firefighters’ help, she was able to pull a few damaged sentimental belongings from the wreckage. Everything else is gone.”
Meanwhile, Lynne Bernstein spoke to People and suggested her neighbor was “extremely fortunate” to survive the collision as she revealed the woman was in another part of the house when the car slammed into the building.
“I don’t think she got what was going on. She said, ‘What happened? What happened?’” Bernstein added as she recalled Mishele being in a state of total shock after the incident.
According to the reports, the homeowner was forced to leave her house immediately after the crash, whereas the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed the building was structurally compromised in the crash.
