LAPD has obtained a warrant for the actress' blood to determine if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash that set a Mar Vista home on fire.
Officer Annie Hernandez told City News Service investigators obtained a warrant for a blood draw from the actress following the Friday crash, in hopes of determining if alcohol or drugs played a role.
"Fifty-nine firefighters took 65 minutes to access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames within the heavily damaged structure, and rescue one female adult found within the vehicle, who has been taken to an area hospital by LAFD paramedics in critical condition," Humphrey's statement continued.A source close to Heche told CNN Saturday that Heche was "lucky to be alive. She has severe burns and has a long recovery ahead.
Neighbor Lynne Bernstein, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1976, told People magazine that he and his fellow neighbors, Dave and Gabriel, were able to talk to Heche moments after her blue Mini Cooper drove "almost all the way through" the house and "almost immediately" caught fire. Dave was able to get into the back of the car and speak to Heche.
Heche, 53, rose to fame on the soap opera "Another World," where she played the dual role of twins Vicky Hudson and Marley Love from 1987 to 1991 and won a Daytime Emmy Award for her performance.
