Comedian Jerry Seinfeld
was in a car accident according to Reuters but has walked away unharmed.
According to reports the brakes on his vintage Fiat failed and he narrowly escaped crashing into a busy intersection.
Seinfeld was driving his 1967 two-door Fiat at a slow speed in the Long Island millionaires' enclave of the Hamptons on Saturday when his brakes failed as he approached a busy intersection, East Hampton Town Police Chief Todd Sarris said.
"He was astute enough to pull his emergency brake and cut his wheels as he was entering the intersection," Sarris said on Thursday. "Had he traveled into Route 27, which is a highly traveled road here in East Hampton, it could have developed into a very serious accident."
