Jerry Seinfeld Automobile Accident - Flips Car!

Jerry Seinfeld cheated death yesterday, when the brakes on his vintage Fiat failed and the car flipped over!

New York Post reports,

“He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened,” she said. “I was extremely relieved and grateful and I’m feeling very lucky that nothing happened.”

“It could have been a lot worse, obviously, and thank God it wasn’t. He’s fine,” she said.

The dramatic accident occurred at 7:40 p.m. Saturday on Skimhampton Road in East Hampton, said East Hampton Police Chief Todd Sarris.

Seinfeld was alone in the vehicle, driving north toward Montauk Highway.

“The brakes went bad,” Sarris said. But Jerry kept his head.

“He had to pull the emergency brake,” which Sarris said still failed to halt the two-door vehicle as it headed into traffic on the highway.

Seinfeld then cut the wheel to the right and “the car rolled over” and stopped yards from the intersection - just short of other vehicles.

The 1967 Fiat BTM rolled onto the passenger side, then the roof, and finally came to rest on the driver’s side.

Seinfeld made a stupid joke about the incident, which reminds me how outdated his humor has become:

It is not something I plan to make a habit of.”
