Seinfeld tried the emergency brake, to no avail, and then swerved to keep the car from careering into an intersection, Sarris said. ``` The two-door sedan flipped over and came to a stop just yards from the highway, Sarris said, adding that the comic’s maneuver “probably avoided a very serious accident.” The wreck was attributed to mechanical failure, and no summonses were issued, Sarris said. [Seinfeld](http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Jerry_Seinfeld), 53, did not require medical attention and returned to his East Hampton home. “He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened,” his wife, Jessica, told the Post. The comedian took the crash in snide. “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,” the Post quoted him as saying. “It is not something I plan to make a habit of.” The sitcom star, who co-wrote, co-produced and starred in last year’s animated “Bee Movie,” is also an auto aficionado. He told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in November that his favorite car in his collection is a 1955 Porsche Spyder ---
