Comedian Kevin Hart has begun opening up to his fans about the hardships he’s had to faced during his recovery from a serious auto crash in September. Now the woman who was in the car with the actor during the accident has broken her silence as well, according to The Blast.
“Feeling so much better! We are both healing! Jared is well on the road to recovery after having major back surgery! We are doing physical therapy together a few times a week!” wrote Rebecca Broxterman, personal trainer for Hart’s wife Eniko and whose fiancé Jared Stanton was driving the the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda owned by Hart when it went out of control and down an embankment, colliding with a tree. She wasn’t seriously harmed, but Hart and Stanton were critically injured and hospitalized.

“Our relationship is stronger than ever and we have so much to be thankful for! Life can take you in many different directions and we are just so happy to be here for it all! We have felt so much love these past 2.5 months and that doesn’t go unnoticed! So thank you to each one of you! This is our journey… it will have ups and it will have downs but we will always have each other. @thejaredstanton I love you so much and am thankful that we are doing life together!” she concluded.
The California Highway Patrol determined the cause of the accident was reckless driving, according to CNN. According to police reports, the car accelerated down the scenic, but winding Mulholland Highway near Malibu, Calif. when Stanton lost control of it. Hart was in the passenger seat next to him, while Broxterman sat in the back. Authorities determined that Stanton was not under the influence when the accident took place.

After the crash, Broxterman had released a statement about the life-altering incident on social media, which included photos and videos of the couple’s recovery.
“GRATEFUL and BLESSED. September 1, 2019 was the scariest day of my life. God was definitely watching over us that night and protecting us. Thank you, Lord, for wrapping your loving arms around us in our time of need,” the message began.
Gradual healing
Hart made his first appearance since the crash at the E! People’s Choice Awards last Sunday in Los Angeles, where he accepted the accolade for comedy movie star of 2019.
“Being that I am, it makes me appreciate life even more. It makes me appreciate the things that really matter: family. I want to thank my wife, my kids, who really stepped up to the plate for me,” said the father of three, referencing his wife and children, Hendrix, 12, Kenzo, 2, and daughter Heaven, 14.
He also thanked his fans for supporting him in the aftermath of the crash.
“I truly want to thank you guys for being there for me at my difficult time,” he said
