Helen Hunt was sent to the hospital after a terrifying car accident in Los Angeles in October 16. The 56-year-old actress is now recovering from the scary incident that took place Wednesday afternoon.
The Mad About You actress was briefly hospitalized after the collision, Us Weekly confirmed. The incident occurred in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles.
According to footage of the accident, Helen’s SUV was driving through an intersection. When it was almost through, the vehicle was T-boned by another car. Helen’s car rolled over on to its side because of the intense impact.
The What Women Want star was sitting in the backseat of the car at the time of the collision. She and other people were taken to the hospital after the incident where they were checked for injuries. After Helen was examined by the doctors, she was released from care.
Police determined there was no crime committed during the accident.

Paul, 63, recently admitted to
Us Weekly that neither he nor Helen originally wanted to do more episodes. “Helen Hunt and I were very clear together: ‘Leave it. We did it, we ended it perfectly. Don’t touch it,’” he said in September. “And then people kept asking us, so we were talking about it and thought, ‘Well you know what? It will just be fun to play together.’”

Paul said, “So, it’s kind of like the original pilot, 20, 30 years ago where everybody leaves and it’s just you two alone and you have to figure out how to navigate that. I was really skeptical and resistant and now really glad, because we’re having such a great time, and they’re coming out great!”
