Hart, 40, was being driven in a 1970 Plymouth
Barracuda shortly after midnight on Mulholland Highway when the
driver lost control of the car and it tumbled down an
embankment, CHP said in a statement.
CHP did not elaborate on the nature of Hart's injuries, but TMZ
reported that he injured his back.
The driver, Jared Black, also suffered major injuries in the
accident, CHP said. He was not under the influence of alcohol at
the time, CHP added.
Hart, who is known for his stand-up comedy and comic roles in
movies including "Ride Along," was able to leave the scene of
the crash with a second passenger, who was not badly hurt, and
head to his home nearby to get medical attention, CHP said.
Hart was taken to Northridge Hospital Medical Center and the
driver was taken to another hospital.
Hart's publicist did not respond to requests for comment.
