Anne Heche is under investigation for felony DUI, stemming from last Friday’s crash.
The Los Angeles Police Department told Fox News Digital on Thursday that no injuries related to the incident were initially reported for the victims involved. In this situation, all potential charges would have been misdemeanors. However, LAPD “subsequently learned that there was a victim who was injured and that victim received medical attention.”
Police say Lynne Mishele, the woman who lived in the home Heche destroyed, was hit by some debris and also had smoke-related injuries. She was not hospitalized, but “she was very traumatized, psychologically.” But Officer Olin Osborne warns: “We don’t want to harm people based on a preliminary report that hasn’t been confirmed.”
The flames destroyed the house and everything inside. Mishele’s neighbors created a GoFundMe campaign that raised $45,000 in one day.
Heche remains in a coma and is in “extremely critical condition,” his rep told Fox News Digital.
The 53-year-old actress suffered burns and was “conscious and breathing” when she was removed from the vehicle and placed on a stretcher, before jerking to her feet as authorities rushed her to an ambulance in a video of the scene of the incident. .

Lynne Bernstein, a witness to the incident, detailed the accident like “horrible” and said he “could hardly breathe” when he tried to help Heche out of the blue Mini Cooper he was driving.
