Kevin Hart Will Require MONTHS Of Physical Rehab After Scary Malibu Car Accident!

Kevin Hart has a long road to full recovery ahead of him after suffering serious injuries in that scary car accident we’ve been reporting.

Although doctors were able to complete “successful back surgery” on the comedian less than 24 hours after the near-deadly crash, sources close to him are now confirming Kevin will require months of extensive physical therapy following the incident. The Jumanji star is also expected to be released from the hospital by the end of this week.

It’s definitely good news to hear the comedian will ultimately be okay, but he’ll have to endure a heavy workload of physical rehab to get back to 100 percent. Hart will have numerous follow-up doctor’s appointments to make sure he is on the right path and things are healing properly, per sources that spoke to TMZ.

While this situation sounds so intense, it goes without saying things could’ve turned out way worse for Kevin! Initially, insiders in the know claimed the back injury “is not a spinal cord injury,” and the star has thus far been “able to walk and move his extremities.” That optimistic report wasn’t enough for doctors though, who later determined it was necessary to operate on the Night School actor and stabilize his condition.

However, when the outlet caught up with the star’s wife, Eniko Hart, outside the hospital on Sunday morning, she seemed confident the funnyman was “going to be just fine.”

As we told you when the story first broke, the 40-year-old actor was riding shotgun in his beloved 1970 Plymouth Barracuda when the driver of the car lost control of the vehicle suddenly, veered off the road, and ran it into a ditch below. The car was completely destroyed, though thankfully, the driver and its passengers all survived.

The driver, Jared Black, also sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash; he was reportedly pinned down inside the crushed vehicle until emergency services arrived with help. We’re told he’s been at UCLA Medical Center in west Los Angeles, recovering with family members surrounding him. A woman named Rebecca Broxterman — who is Black’s fiancé and Hart’s wife’s personal trainer — was also involved in the crash and was pinned to the backseat when the crash happened. Luckily, it appears Broxterman did not sustain any life-threatening injuries.

Police were later able to determine that Black “was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision.” However, authorities are reportedly looking into excessive speed as a possible cause of the wreck. A witness within earshot of the collision said they heard tires screeching — like the vehicle was peeling out — before hearing a loud boom.

We continue to send positive thoughts to everyone and will continue to follow this story as it develops.
