there are at least two publicly documented cases tied to DeGeneres’ dating history that involve motor-vehicle crashes:
Kat Perkoff (1980)
Biography.com reports that when Ellen DeGeneres was 22 and living in New Orleans, her 23-year-old girlfriend, Kat Perkoff, was killed in a car crash in 1980.
Anne Heche (2022)
Anne Heche, who dated DeGeneres 1997–2000, was critically injured in a car crash on Aug 5, 2022 and died Aug 11, 2022 from those injuries (ruled an accident by the LA County Medical Examiner-Coroner).
This is from a tabloid (not credible) but I thought it was interesting…
