Kevin Hart Accident Row: Police Report Suggests It Was A Result Of Reckless Driving

Actor-comedian Kevin Hart’s car crash was caused by reckless driving, police have said.

According to authorities, the man behind the wheel of Hart’s car was driving dangerously at the time of the crash, which happened in Los Angeles on September 1, reports pagesix.com. Hart was seriously injured.

The actor-comedian’s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda was being driven by his friend Jared Black, an actor-producer. Black accelerated while taking a turn on Mulholland Highway and lost control, according to the report from California Highway Patrol.

The car then slid down an embankment and slammed into a tree, the report added.

Apart from Hart and Black, the other passenger in the car was Black’s fiancee, Rebecca Broxterman, the police said.

Hart and Black suffered serious back injuries, while Broxterm sustained minor wounds. The comedian issued a statement through his lawyer on Thursday, praising Broxterman and Black.

“I have nothing but love for Jared and wish him and Rebecca a speedy recovery,” he said.
