The police report reveals the details of the scene as first responders approached.

"Two of the three occupants were trapped in the vehicle. The remaining occupant and owner of the vehicle, Kevin Hart left the scene to his nearby residence to get medical attention," the report reads.

Black was reportedly pinned against the steering wheel. The fire department had to saw off the roof to pry him out of the vehicle. Meanwhile, Broxterman, who got engaged to Black in June, did not suffer any physical injuries.

Reports have stated that there was no alcohol involved with the crash and that Black had not had any drinks that day.

The car was located in a ditch along the side of the road. The roof was severely damaged and the sides were dented. Hart apparently was the first one to escape the wreckage and was soon picked up by his security team before being transported to the hospital.

Hart is set to appear in his latest starring role in Jumanji: The Next Level. The film will premiere in December. He also played the voice of Snowball in the summer release, The Secret Life of Pets 2.
