In newly obtained doorbell camera video, Anne Heche can be seen speeding down a residential road in Los Angeles, moments before crashing into a home that would go up in flames.
Just before 11 a.m. PST, Heche is seen zooming by in a blue Mini Cooper, and only seconds later, the sound of the massive crash is heard in the video.
Eyewitnesses told Fox News Digital that Heche was driving at a “high rate of speed.”
