Jerry Seinfeld a comedian hero has been escape from injury after his vintage car rolled over while he was driving. The 53 years old, famously known for his self-titled sitcom, was driving a 1967 Fiat near his home in Hamptons, Long Island, when his car’s brakes failed & the vehicle turned turtle.

He first realised the problem when trying to stop at a busy junction & the brakes did not respond - a fault later put down to “mechanical failure”.

Jerry Seinfeld said that it is not clear at what speed I was travelling the car, although it is thought Seinfeld was within the speed limit. The comedian swerved his two-door sports saloon through the traffic, but could not prevent it flipping onto its roof where it skidded and came to a halt near a main road.

He returned to his home a few hours later after the accident.
