I understand they need the clicks but they even say in the article he wasn't driving...why is the title "Kevin Hart crashes..."?

Dibs on the drivetrain. I have an extreme lawn tractor project that is just begging for that biotch.

This is a customers car, I was working so he could build a garage so he could finish this project.

He said he had functioning AC cruise and control in it as well.

I thought it was pretty badass.

A celebrity, a 700hp schitbox and letting some young fool drive it. What could go wrong?

They’re lucky to be alive.

Something about this incident is fishy to me.

Sounds like Hart let a pal drive his 'Cuda with really bad results. Way too much car and not enough skills scenario?
Hopefully, the back injuries do not involve paralysis.

As soon as I heard this story by BS alarm went off.
He let someone else drive his hot rod at 1 am, and his friend crashed it instead of him?
Color me skeptical.

Hellcat in a miata which is a lot worse.

Worse? BETTER!

Story I heard is that they crashed, and initially went to his house, rather than the hospital.

I am going with he crashed it himself, and the buddy is taking the rap.

Could see it going either way. A self-absorbed celeb. may not care in the least what happens to a car. Or, KH may just want to side-step accountability. I don't know KH at all so it's possible that the whole thing was just a bad accident too.

It was no accident, it was just a wreck or crash. The were almost certainly driving over the speed limit, and too fast for conditions. That does not happen by accident. Whoever was driving was purposefully, very late at night, driving a car in an unsafe manner, and not by accident. End result, a wreck.

It would be interesting to know if KH has a lot of tickets and needs someone else to take the points or tickets. In the end, it was not my car or money, and no one but some of the people involved were hurt.

At that time in the morning, quite a few of the people on the road are under the influence.
And a big percentage of the wrecks at that time of the morning involve those drivers who are under the influence.

A celebrity would have quite a bit to looose if it got out that he was driving under the influence and caused a wreck that involved injuries. Pretty sure that's a felony. Possibly a career-ending felony.

But I also suspect that it might be a felony to leave the scene of an accident that involves injuries to avoid prosecution, or to provide false details to avoid criminal actions.

Maybe it happened the way it was explained, dunno. I wasn't there.
But he certainly would have plenty of motivation to fake it and lie.

I'd be interested to see what happens to the bank account of the guy who said he was driving.
Just to see how much it costs to take the rap for a celeb.
If that actually happened I mean.

Drunken driving arrest a 'wake-up' call, comedian Kevin Hart says
By Ben Brumfield, CNN
Updated 3:18 AM ET, Mon April 15, 2013

Kevin Hart tweeted to his fans that he would "have to be smarter" after his arrest on Sunday.

Comedian and actor Kevin Hart says he'll straighten up his act. And he's not being funny.
Los Angeles traffic police arrested the stand-up comic on "suspicion" of drunken driving early Sunday.
They observed him speeding down a freeway at 90 mph in his black Mercedes, weaving across traffic lanes and almost running into a gas tanker truck, the California Highway Patrol said in a statement.
When patrol officers pursued him, he took an off ramp and pulled over, police said.
"Mr. Hart had objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform the field sobriety tests," the statement read.

The comedian later tweeted: "When the cop asked me to take the sobriety test I said 'WHY WASTE OUR TIME ... I'M DRUNK MAN.'"
Police booked him into jail and held him on a $5,000 bond.
"This is a wake up call for me, I have to be smarter & last night I wasn't ... everything happens for a reason," he tweeted Sunday.
In a stand-up routine in his 2011 movie "Laugh At My Pain," Hart lampooned his father's alleged embarrassing behavior due to a drug addiction.
But he does not make light of his own intoxicated behavior.
"Drinking & driving is not a game or a laughing matter. People have lost lives because of stupid ... this!," he said on his verified Twitter account.
Hart has been in various movies, including "Think Like a Man" and "The Five-Year Engagement." He's also appeared in television shows, including "Modern Family."

Or, maybe he was being smart. Maybe he was drunk, and gave the keys to his sober friend who simply couldn't handle the power of the car.
It's possible.
