The comedian was injured in a serious car crash on Sunday morning

The 40-year-old comedian was riding with two friends – passenger Rebecca Broxterman and her fiancé Jared Black, who was driving – in his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda when the driver lost control and ended up crashing in a ditch. Like Kevin, Jared also suffered major back injuries; he was airlifted to a local hospital. Rebecca, a personal trainer whose clients include Kevin's wife Eniko, was much luckier, suffering only minor injuries.
