The tragic accident with Anne Heche is back in the spotlight. This is due to the fact that a woman living in a house that the actress’s car crashed into on August 5 is suing the family of the late artist.
According to People, which had access to the case, Lynn Michelle’s lawyers filed papers with the California Supreme Court on November 9 in Los Angeles. Seeking “at least two million dollars” in damages for “negligence, incitement to emotional distress and intrusion.”
Records say the woman who was filming John and Jennifer Duran’s house at the time of the crash says she was “working from home when she was stunned by the force of Heche’s car hitting the front wall and driving through the living room, kitchen, office and closet before than to settle in the laundry.
The documents also state that the woman and her three pets “narrowly escaped the physical impact of the car accident.” They also describe that Michele was “terrified, severely traumatized and with nowhere to live”.
After the accident, the fire destroyed “the house and all personal belongings.” They report that the plaintiff “continues to suffer from severe emotional problems and professional difficulties.” “He can’t sleep and is struggling with anxiety and depression,” they add.
It is also known that the day after the accident, John and Jennifer Duran launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover expenses, calling Michele a “kind and generous” person. To date, they have managed to raise over $183,000.
