The comedian and actor Kevin Hart has been involved in a horrendous car crash, suffering what are being described as “major back injuries”.

Hart crashed in California at around 12:45 on Sunday morning. The car apparently skidded off the road, crashed through a fence, and rolled down an embankment.

The car was being driven by Hart’s driver, Jared Black. Rebecca Broxterman was also in the car, but she wasn’t as seriously injured.

The car, a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Hart bought as a 40th birthday gift to himself, is a write-off. So let’s just hope that Hart and Black recover from their injuries.
