Comedian Kevin Hart suffered “major back injuries” in a car accident early Sunday morning in California, the state’s Highway Patrol confirmed, reports CBS Los Angeles. A man identified as Jared Black was driving both the “Night School” star and passenger Rebecca Broxterman in the star’s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda in Calabasas, California, when the accident occurred.
Black 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, reports CBS L.A.
Black and Broxterman were trapped in the car, but Hart was able to leave the scene of the crash and get medical attention at his nearby home. He and the driver were then transported to a nearby hospital.
Both Hart and the driver suffered major back injuries, the California Highway Patrol said. Broxterman told authorities she was in pain but sought out her “own aid,” according to the CHP report of the collision. The report listed her injuries as “minor.”
