BRIDGET FONDA SURVIVES CAR-WRECK ORDEAL
MALIBU, Calif. – Bridget Fonda miraculously survived a rollover car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway yesterday, walking away only because she wore her seat belt, authorities said.
The 39-year-old actress daughter of Peter Fonda and niece of Jane Fonda was headed south on the highway in Malibu when she lost control of her 2001 Jaguar – which flipped over an embankment and tumbled downhill.
Her car was totaled – but amazingly, the actress suffered only minor cuts and bruises.
She was still taken to St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica where she was expected to spend the night, cops and her publicist said.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Fonda will be cited, but police said she was probably driving too fast on the steep, rain-slicked road.
“She’s doing OK and hopefully she’ll be out of the hospital by tomorrow,” said the actress’ spokeswoman, Nancy Seltzer. “That’s all that matters.”
Fonda is best known for her roles in “Singles,” “Single White Female,” “It Can Happen to You” and “Jackie Brown.”
