Actress seriously injured: Anne Heche is in a coma after a fire accident

Concern for Anne Heche continues: The 53-year-old US actress is still in the hospital after her car accident in Los Angeles last Friday. "She has a significant lung injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns requiring surgery," a spokesman said in a statement given to People magazine. "She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident."

It was recently stated that Heche was in a "stable condition". Her family and friends would ask that "they pray and think of her and respect her privacy at this difficult time." Heche crashed her car into a home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles last Friday, setting both the vehicle and the home on fire.

The car was on fire after the impact and the driver suffered burns, the fire department said. Among other things, sources then reported to CNN that the woman was Anne Heche. The investigation into the accident continues.
