Kevin Hart recovering from back surgery

Kevin Hart is on the mend this morning after going under the knife Sunday less than 24 hours after he injured his back in that horrific car accident.

A source connected to Kevin says doctors completed successfully a back surgery on Kevin Sunday evening. Another source said the comedian is expected to remain in the hospital for at least a couple of days while he recovers.

Kevin was miraculously able to walk away from the accident early Sunday morning on L.A.’s treacherous Mulholland Highway with assistance from a bodyguard but was rushed to a hospital with what cops called a “major back injury.”

Jared Black, the man who was driving Kevin’s vintage Plymouth Barracuda at the time of the accident, was pinned in the crushed vehicle and also seriously injured. He was airlifted to UCLA Medical Center and is said to be surrounded by family members as he also recovers.
