Car crash

The 53-year-old had been in a coma for a week after crashing her car into a house in Los Angeles.

"Today we lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul", her family said in a statement on Friday.

Heche appeared in films including Volcano, Donnie Brasco and the 1998 remake of Psycho.

The mother-of-two also appeared on Dancing with the Stars, the US equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing, in 2020.

A statement from the Royal Solomon Islands police said a land cruiser was being chased by police outside the capital Honiara for driving dangerously.

The police said there were parked vehicles and a car on the main bridge, so the chased driver chose to use an old where a group was fundraising.

After ploughing into the crowd, the driver fled but has now been arrested.

The vehicle was later burnt down to ashes.

According to the California Highway Patrol, Hart was being driven in his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda on Mulholland Highway at the time of the accident.

His wife Eniko Parrish told TMZ news reporters on Monday that the comedian was awake and "going to be just fine".

The accident happened just after midnight.

The driver, Jared Black, lost control of the car and it tumbled into an embankment, the report stated.

Black also sustained major back injuries. A third passenger was unhurt.

He said he drove the car in one direction to test it, but then asked Thurman to drive it the other way.

He said he didn't realise there was a twist in the road coming back. Thurman posted footage of her crash on Monday.

The director said failing to test the route one more time was "one of my most horrendous mistakes".

Thurman suffered neck and knee injuries in the accident.

In a New York Times interview published over the weekend, Thurman said she had worries about the state of the car, but that Tarantino had persuaded her to go ahead with the scene.

Annabelle, 21, died in a Sydney hospital on Friday. Jessica, 28, who appeared on TV soap Home and Away in 2016, remains in a critical condition.

The family were caught up in a two-car highway collision on Boxing Day near Ulladulla, New South Wales.

Their parents and the driver of the other car died at the scene.

The horror crash has made headlines across Australia, with police calling it "an absolute tragedy".

Annabelle's boyfriend had shared a Snapchat picture of them both shortly after the crash, asking for prayers and support.

Witnesses said the motorist drove a burgundy Honda sedan against traffic and onto the footpath and sped along more than three city blocks, knocking people over.

The car crashed into a pole and came to rest at 45th Street and Broadway before police took the driver away.

Authorities said there was no indication it was an act of terrorism.
