Kevin Hart was seriously injured when he was involved in a car accident early Sunday morning, according to California Highway Patrol.
The car was being driven by Jared Black, who lost control of the vehicle after it turned eastbound on Mulholland highway from Cold Canyon Road. The car rolled over, down the northern embankment and ended up in a ditch, according to police.
CHP confirmed to NBC News that the vehicle was Kevin Hart’s and both the driver and comedian sustained “major back injuries” and were transported and treated at nearby hospitals. The third person in the car identified by police as Rebecca Broxterman did not need medical treatment.
His car can be seen mangled with the roof completely torn off in photos obtained by TMZ .
Police say that Kevin lives nearby and went home prior to receiving medical attention at a hospital. They added that the driver was located in the driver’s seat of the vehicle and determined not to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision.
Kevin bought the Plymouth Barracuda in July as a 40th birthday present to himself. Earlier on Saturday, he shared a video on Instagram story of himself driving the classic car.
