Jerry Seinfeld was driving solo at 7:40 p.m., when the brakes on the sedan malfunctioned, East Hampton Town Police Chief, Todd Sarris told the New York Post.
The 53-year-old reportedly tried the emergency brake and – when that failed – swerved to keep the vehicle from careening into an intersection.
The two-door, 1967 Fiat BTM flipped over before coming to a halt just yards from the highway, Sarris said, adding that Seinfeld's maneuver "probably avoided a very serious accident."
"He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened," his wife, Jessica, told the Post. "It could have been a lot worse, obviously, and thank God it wasn't. He's fine."
"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," Jerry told the newspaper. "It is not something I plan to make a habit."
