“Over the weekend, a rep said Anne was in stable condition, but that information was inaccurate. She still remained in critical condition, slipping into a coma following the accident,” a spokesperson for Heche told CNN in a statement Monday.
“She has a significant lung injury that requires mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgery.”
Earlier Monday, CNN reported that Heche was being investigated for drunk driving and hit and run charges, according to Los Angeles police.
Investigators obtained a warrant to draw Ms. Heche’s blood on the day of the accident. They are still waiting for the results.
Once the investigation is complete, the case will be forwarded to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.
Ms Heche’s representative told CNN she has not yet been able to meet with investigators due to her injuries.
Meanwhile, friends of the woman whose home was destroyed in the crash say she ‘narrowly escaped physical injury’.
Lynne Mishele was inside her residence when Anne Heche ran inside and the fire ignited, officials told CNN. Her neighbors started a GoFundMe to help her rebuild her life.
In the description of the fundraiser, they state that Mishele lost everything except for “a few damaged sentimental items.”
