Kevin Hart's Car Crash

Kevin Hart was in a tragic car crash. The incident took place at 12:45 a.m. on September 1st on a notoriously dangerous route leading into Malibu, California. The 40-year-old comedian was seated in the front passenger side of his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda when it veered off Mulholland Highway, went through a fence, and landed in a ditch. 

According to a collision report obtained by E! News, 28-year-old Jared Black was driving both Hart and 31-year-old Rebecca Broxterman at the time of the accident. Broxterman is Black’s reported fiance and personal trainer to Hart’s wife, Eniko Hart. 

In a 911 call placed at the scene and obtained by E! News, a witness told the operator the car was in a terrible condition and it looked as if the vehicle’s roof was crushed and the door was smashed in. 

Meanwhile, the California Highway Patrol said Hart left the scene at some point to seek medical attention. Hart’s security team drove him to his home in Calabasas. Kevin Hart was ultimately hospitalized at Northridge Hospital, where he underwent back surgery and was said to be “doing fine.” According to TMZ, he suffered three spinal fractures. 

US Magazine says that Hart has returned home from the hospital, but that he will be in recovery for a long time.
