Jerry Seinfeld Flips 1967 Fiat BTM and Walks Away (Photos)

flipped his vintage 1967 Fiat BTM Saturday night while driving in East Hampton, NY. The accident occurred around 7:40pm after the brakes failed.

The comedian unsuccessfully tried using the emergency brake and cut the wheel to the right to avoid heading into traffic, causing the car to roll, stopping just short of the intersection. Fortunately, the comedian walked away unharmed.

According to Jerry's wife, Jessica:



"He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened," she said. "I was extremely relieved and grateful and I'm feeling very lucky that nothing happened." "It could have been a lot worse, obviously, and thank God it wasn't. He's fine," she said.

Seinfeld is an avid car collector and is reported to own 47 Porsches. Now that we know Jerry is okay, the real mystery of this story is not how he walked away from the accident unscathed, but what is a 1967 Fiat BTM? It is apparently a hard top version of the Fiat Dino, pictured below.
