  • Helen Hunt was hospitalized after a car crash in Los Angeles.

  • She was reportedly in the backseat when another car hit her vehicle.

  • Video of the vehicle shows it flipping over in an intersection.


It’s been a scary few weeks for celebrities and car crashes. Last month, Kevin Hart was involved in a scary car crash that left him with back injuries. And now, actress Helen Hunt is at home recovering after a serious car accident.

Helen was taken to the hospital after she was involved in a car accident on Wednesday afternoon, according to People. TMZ obtained footage of the accident, and it looks...intense.

The footage shows Helen’s black SUV trying to navigate through an intersection. The driver apparently thought they had a clear path and almost made it through before the car was T-boned at the last moment. Helen’s SUV skidded and then rolled over on its side after it was hit. Helen wasn’t driving—she was a passenger and was riding in the backseat at the time of the accident, TMZ says.

Helen was taken to the hospital after complaining of pain after the accident, TMZ reports, but she was reportedly in stable condition. There’s no word on the status of the other driver or Helen's SUV.

Helen reportedly left the hospital after a few hours. Her publicist Stephen Huvane told USA Today that she’s now at home and recovering with “no major injuries.” Helen hasn't shared anything on Instagram or Twitter since the accident.

According to TMZ, none of the drivers in the accident were cited for the crash, and drugs and alcohol are not suspected in the incident.
