The same TMZ report, citing a source close to the comedian, said that Hart underwent back surgery and is recovering in the hospital.

Hart was a passenger inside his vintage Plymouth Barracuda in a crash in Southern California, People magazine reported. His friend, Jared Black, lost control of the vehicle and hit wooden fencing before 1 a.m. on Mulholland Highway in Malibu, California Highway Patrol told People magazine.

The crash left Hart, 40, with “major back injuries,” the CHP told CBS Los Angeles.

According to the CBS report, Black and passenger Rebecca Broxterman were trapped inside the vehicle, but Hart was able to leave and get medical attention at his home. Hart and Black were taken to a nearby hospital.

The driver wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.
