Comedian Jerry Seinfeld should probably be dead or badly hurt right now, considering what happened to him while he was driving around in the Hamptons Saturday.
According to East Hampton police, Seinfeld was driving his vintage Fiat, alone, when the brakes failed, forcing the Bee Movie star to deliberately swerve off the road to avoid running through an intersection.
The maneuver caused Seinfeld's car to roll, coming to rest only yards away from other vehicles.
"His actions probably avoided a very serious accident," said East Hampton police chief Todd Sarris. "I think he was a little shaken up, with justification."
Police rushed to the scene (it was a Fiat so of course they did), and were amazed to discover that Jerry required no medical attention.
The comedian of course tried making humor out of his near-disaster.
"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 is not something I plan to make a habit of."
Obviously Larry David didn't write that for him.
