Actor Kevin Hart is recovering from back surgery following a car crash in Los Angeles early on Sunday local time.

Doctors completed the operation on the 40-year-old comedian Sunday night after he suffered “major back injuries” in the accident, a source told TMZ. A video on the site showed his wife, Eniko Hart, telling reporters that Kevin’s “going to be just fine”.

He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days while he recovers, the report said.

Hart had been a passenger in his electric blue 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, which he named Menace, when it swerved off Mulholland Highway in Malibu Hills, crashing through a wooden fence and falling into a gully around 1am. Sunday. The roof of the car was crushed from the impact of the crash.

His friend Jared Black, 28, had been driving the car that Hart bought for himself as a birthday present in July. Hart and his wife’s personal trainer, Rebecca Broxterman, was also in the car.

Doctors said earlier that Hart’s injuries did not involve spinal cord problems — and they were hopeful he would make a full recovery, according to The Blast’s earlier report.
