Parrish , who has a 21-month-old son, Kenzo, with Kevin and is the step-mother to his two other children, added: “He’s fine, he’s awake.”
Horrifying images of the wreckage showed that the roof of the vehicle was completely destroyed, while the windshield was completely smashed.
According to The Blast, doctors believe Hart can recover from his injuries as he didn’t suffer any spinal cord damage during the crash.
