Seinfield almost gets his dumb ass killed.

Not that it would be a huge loss to the world but Seinfeld almost smeared himself over a large part of the landscape when his breaks failed. NY Post reports:


"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.
The dramatic accident occurred at 7:40 p.m. Saturday on Skimhampton Road in East Hampton, said East Hampton Police Chief Todd Sarris.


Seinfeld was alone in the vehicle, driving north toward Montauk Highway.
"The brakes went bad," Sarris said. But Jerry kept his head.


"He had to pull the emergency brake," which Sarris said still failed to halt the two-door vehicle as it headed into traffic on the highway.


Seinfeld then cut the wheel to the right and "the car rolled over" and stopped yards from the intersection - just short of other vehicles.


The 1967 Fiat BTM rolled onto the passenger side, then the roof, and finally came to rest on the driver's side.


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


Police rushed to the scene, but the comic did not require medical attention.
The accident was chalked up to mechanical failure. Seinfeld had not been drinking and no summonses were issued, Sarris said.
Better luck next time but could someone out there PLEASE tell me that I'm not the only one who never found this guy funny? God, he's so fucking irritating.
