“We really had a multifaceted incident here,” LAFD Captain Erik Scott toldKTLA. “We had a significant traffic collision, we had entrapment of a woman inside that, we had [a] car that erupted into fire, and then we had a home that had significant fire that is red tagged. It’s at this point destroyed.”
Driving on Preston Way, Heche reportedly ran a stop sign at the Walgrove intersection and drove through some large privacy bushes before the car rested inside the house, according to KTLA.
“She just peeled through [the stop sign],” a source told PEOPLE. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, that person’s going to kill somebody.’ "

Neighbors also described to PEOPLE the aftermath of Friday’s fiery crash, including the actions they took to help rescue her and the resident at the home she crashed into.
According to Bernstein, after the vehicle 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.
“She responded that she wasn’t doing real well,” Bernstein said, nothing that Dave “actually talked to her briefly. “Yeah, he asked her to raise her hand or something … if she was okay and she said she couldn’t.”
Bernstein said if they were able to free her from the car before the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived, “maybe she wouldn’t be suffering the way she is now.”
“We were having a hard time seeing and breathing,” Bernstein recalled of the smoke that filled the house, noting that Gabriel began hosing down the fire as Dave tried to extract Heche from the car.
As for the woman in the house home, Bernstein said she “was in shock” as she saw the three men in the house before noticing the vehicle. “I don’t think she got what was going on. She said, ‘What happened? What happened?'” he explained, adding the woman “was extremely fortunate. So were the dogs and her turtle.”
