Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is lucky to be alive!  The actor survived a serious car wreck in the Hamptons last weekend when the brakes on his vintage Fiat failed.  Seinfeld was driving alone at the time on Skimhampton Road in East Hampton - the accident occurred around 7:40 p.m. according to the New York Post.

Police Chief Todd Sarris told the newspaper, "The brakes went bad.  He had to pull the emergency brake."  Jerry's car was headed toward traffic on Montauk Hightway when he lost control and he was forced to swerve to the right and the car ended up rolling onto the passenger side, and then the roof, before halting a few feet shy of other vehicles at an intersection on the driver's side.

Sarris continues, "His actions probably avoided a serious accident.  I think he was a little shaken up, with justification."

Jessica Seinfeld told the Post, "He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened.  I was extremely relieved and grateful, and I'm feeling very lucky that nothing happened."  She also said he walked away "without a scratch."

I'm sure his wife and three kids are quite relieved that he's okay!

Jerry, always the wiseguy said, "Because I know there are kids out there, I want to make sure they all know that driving without braking is not something I recommend, unless you have professional clown training or a comedy background, as I do.  It's not something I plan to make a habit of."  Ha!
