Kevin Hart and his two passengers involved in Labor Day car crash lawyer up – as it’s revealed his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda didn’t have five-point harnesses or roll cage
Comedian Kevin Hart, his wife’s personal trainer Rebecca Broxterman, and her fiancé Jared Black have all reportedly lawyered up following their September 1 car crash which left Hart and Black with serious injuries.
The 40-year-old Grammy nominee’s restored 1970 Plymouth Barracuda was only equipped with old-school lap belts, and negligently did not have a five-point harness or roll cage – according to TMZ.
There’s also been confusion over who was driving the vintage muscle car as the 911 caller said he saw ‘Kevin’s security guard remove him through the driver’s side window’ after it careened off Mulholland Drive.

By the time the California Highway Patrol arrived on the scene, it was Jared who was in the driver seat, so they are still investigating the matter.
31-year-old Broxterman sustained minor injuries in the Calabasas accident while 28-year-old Jared – whom she got engaged to June 30 in Saint Lucia – suffered serious back and chest injuries.
Hart returned home on Friday and he’s now ‘receiving intensive physical therapy’ after sustaining three spinal fractures which required fusion.

‘Kevin is shocked he’s alive,’ a source close to the Hobbs & Shaw actor told TMZ.
‘He really cherishes the fact that he’s alive, and wants to make the most of it in every respect. The crash had a huge impact on him.
‘Doctors and the physical therapist have assured him he’ll be pretty much back to where he was before the accident.’
