The ‘driver’s sudden acceleration’ caused the car crash that left Hollywood funnyman Kevin Hart in hospital .

American showbiz website TMZ say the official report into the smash has now been filed.

The comedian was left needing emergency surgery after his vehicle ploughed into a ditch in Malibu.

He fractured his spine in three places after his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda left the Mulholland Highway and plunged down a gully, crashing through a wooden fence last month.

Actor Kevin was in the back seat with Rebecca Broxterman at the time, with her fiancé and Hart's friend Jared Black at the wheel close to the star's home.

The pair were reportedly preparing to sue Kevin over their injuries, claiming he was negligent in not having the requisite safety features included in the rebuild, which was a birthday present to himself.

The injured couple are arguing that the classic car did not have proper safety harnesses or airbags.

But breaking his silence, Hart said he has “nothing but love for Jared” in a new statement released through his attorney.

He wished them both a “speedy recovery” as the fall-out continued.

The accident happened in Calabasas, just yards away from his house.

It is also claimed that no-one in the car were wearing seat belts correctly at the time on the crash.

"There were fold and crease marks on the belt surfaces consistent with being folded and tucked into the seats and no indicators of occupant loading were present," the report reads, the website says.

"They (the seat belts) were being worn improperly due to excessive slack in the belts."

The report also mentioned that the vehicle was without an anti-lock braking system.

TMZ suggest that "there will be multiple lawsuits stemming from the crash".

He was released from the hospital last month and has since been recovering at home.
