The report says Hart and the driver, 28-year-old Jared Black, both suffered “major back injuries” and were taken to hospitals. Another passenger, 31-year-old Rebecca Broxterman, only complained of pain. The CHP report says the car immediately went out of control as it turned from a canyon road onto the highway. The report says the driver was not under the influence of alcohol. A representative for Hart didn’t immediately reply to messages. Kevin, who is known for his stand-up comedy and comic roles in movies including Ride Along, was able to leave the scene of the crash with a second passenger, who was not badly hurt, and head to his home nearby to get medical attention, CHP said. The crash was first reported by TMZ (With inputs from agencies)
