Police said the car belongs to Hart, but told TMZ he was not driving at the time. There were three people in the car, including a woman who did not need to be hospitalized. Hart and the driver both suffered “major back injuries,” according to police.
Police also said no alcohol was involved in the crash.
Hart got out of the car first, according to a witness. His security team showed up a short time after the crash to pick up Hart. He was taken to his home nearby to get immediate medical attention, but was later taken to a hospital.
The Central Intelligence star bought the car for himself in July as a 40th birthday present. Hours before the crash, Hart shared a video on his Instagram, Story showing himself driving the car.
