Actor and comedian Kevin Hart survives horror car crash

American comedian and actor sustains serious back injuries on Mulholland Highway

One of Hollywood's biggest names, Kevin Hart, is in hospital after a classic car he was allegedly a passenger in rolled down an embankment.

The car was a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, which smashed through wooden roadside barriers before rolling down a hillside.

The aftermath of the crash shows the car's roof completely stoved in. It's a miracle all three occupants survived – Kevin Hart, a man named Mr Black and his fiancée Rebecca Broxterman.

Hart and Black both required hospitalisation, the California Highway Patrol stating that Black was airlifted to hospital. Both were said to have sustained major back injuries while Broxterman walked away from the incident unscathed, according to reports.

The accident occurred not long after midnight early on Sunday morning and according to heavy.com a since-deleted Instragram story shows Kevin Hart in the same vehicle talking about doing burnouts in the vehicle.

The police report says that the driver of the vehicle did not have alcohol in his system at the time of the incident. According to The Blast entertainment website, Hart is expected to make a full recovery at the Northridge hospital in Los Angeles. He was said to be able to walk and move his limbs.

Some of Hart's hit movies include Ride Along 2, Central Intelligence and The Upside.
