Prayers up for Kevin Hart. The actor/comedian was involved in a car accident around 1 AM Sunday in Southern California and has sustained serious back injuries that may require surgery.
According to reports, Kevin was riding in one of his classic cars with two other people. The vintage Plymouth Barracuda veered off the road and into a ditch 10 feet off the road on Mulholland Highway in Malibu Hills.
According to TMZ, cops have confirmed the vehicle belongs to Kevin, but he was not driving at the time of the accident. There were 2 other people in the car, including the driver — and cops say Kevin and the driver both suffered “major back injuries.”
The third person is a woman who did not require hospital treatment. Police say the driver had not been drinking.
Kevin was first out of the vehicle and according to a witness, a member of his security team showed up in an SUV and picked him up. Kevin lives nearby and cops say he went home “to get medical attention.” He was eventually treated at the hospital.
Police say the driver of the car was found pinned in his seat under the crushed roof and so was the female passenger. The fire department had to eventually saw off the roof to free them.
The driver was airlifted across town to UCLA Medical Center. His condition and Kevin’s is unknown at this point, but sources say Kevin may need back surgery.
Kevin bought the car back in July as a 40th birthday gift to himself.
