LOS ANGELES >> Actor-comedian Kevin Hart has been injured in the crash of a vintage muscle car in the hills above Malibu.
A California Highway Patrol collision report said Hart, 40, was a passenger in a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that went off Mulholland Highway and rolled down an embankment around 12:45 a.m. Sunday.
The report said Hart and the driver, 28-year-old Jared Black, both suffered “major back injuries” and were taken to hospitals.
Another passenger, 31-year-old Rebecca Broxterman, only complained of pain.
The CHP report said the car immediately went out of control as it turned from a canyon road onto the highway.
The driver was not under the influence of alcohol, according to a report.
A representative for Hart didn’t immediately reply to messages. The crash was first reported by TMZ.
