On September 1, tragedy struck the beloved father of three when the car he was in crashed and gave him severe injuries. As per sources, he is on the road to recovery.
From delivering his lines brilliantly with great comic timing in films like Central Intelligence to making thousands of people across the world laugh with his unique and charming persona, Kevin Hart is a man who has carved out a place in the hearts of many. And now, people are flooding him with support and good wishes after news broke out that he is suffering from severe injuries he sustained during a car accident.
Last Sunday, September 1, 2019, the comedian-actor was rushed to the hospital after his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda tumbled over into an embankment, according to California Highway Patrol, reported the BBC. The 40-year-old entertainer was in the passenger seat while the driver was a man named Jared Black. A third person, Rebecca Broxterman, Jared's fiance was sitting in the car as well, according to Today.
In the accident, both Jared and Kevin were severely injured, sustaining "major back injuries" while Rebecca was less injured. According to CNN, the car was a birthday gift from Kevin to himself on his 40th birthday. That day, he posted a picture of him with it on Instagram with the caption, "I added some more muscle to the family for my 40th....welcome home 'Menace.'"
After being rushed to the hospital, the father-of-three was immediately taken into surgery on Sunday evening. Thankfully, the doctors claimed that his back surgery was successful, according to TMZ. In another report by TMZ, the impact of the accident was monumental, wherein the roof was completely crushed.
