Comedian Kevin Hart suffered "major back injuries" in a car accident early Sunday morning in California. The state's Highway Patrol confirmed, a man identified as Jared Black was driving both Kevin and passenger Rebecca Broxterman in the star's 1970 Plymouth Barracuda in Calabasas, California, when the accident occurred. Jared was turning from a road in the city when he lost control of the vehicle, sending it off the street and tumbling down an embankment.
Both Kevin and Jared suffered major back injuries with Jared and Rebecca being trapped in the car at one point. Rebecca, who is Jared’s fiancé, was able to seek her own aid even though she was in pain. The police report listed her injuries as minor. The driver was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the early morning collision, CBS L.A. reports. Hart has not commented on the accident on social media. His last post on Instagram was an image of him jumping into a pool with the caption,"Being home makes me happy....enjoy your weekend people!!!! #LiveLoveLaugh" A representative for the comedian has not responded to a request for comment.
Friends, family and stars alike have all taken to social media to send light, love and prayers to Kevin and his family for a speedy recovery. Kevin Hart's co-star of films like Jumanji and Central Intelligence Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is reaching out to his good friend via social media encouraging the comedian to 'stay strong' during this scary time.
Hart suffered a serious back injury that may now involve surgery. The 40-year-old is currently in a Los Angeles hospital and according to US Magazine, "he is undergoing tests to determine if he will need to go under the knife to repair his back." While this may be the case, doctors are in a positive state of mind feeling that Hart will make a full recovery either way.
Hart had only recently bought himself the Plymouth Barracuda back in July as a 40th birthday present. We can all agree; the custom vintage Barracuda is the last thing on everyone’s mind. We, here at L.A. VIBE, are sending positive, healing vibes and laughter to all those involved.
“Laughter heals all wounds, and that's one thing that everybody shares. No matter what you're going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing.”- Kevin Hart
