Jay Leno says he suffered broken bones in a motorcycle accident only two months after he suffered serious burns in a garage fire.
The comedian made headlines late last year after he got burned on 7% of his body due to a fire in his luxury garage while he was working on a vintage car.
He was rushed to the Grossman Burn Center in LA where he was put in a hyperbaric chamber.
Leno also underwent skin-graft surgery for burns on his chest, hands, and face.
But only two months after the horrific incident, he was involved in yet another accident.
“It’s so funny you should say that,” the comedian told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.”
In another interview with NBC News, Leno said that he had been driving his 1940 Indian motorcycle when he noticed the smell of leaking gas.
“So I turn around, I start to cut through a parking lot. And there was a wire across two poles which was not well marked and boom, I just got — it clotheslined me, hit me in the neck and threw me off the bike,” he told NBC News.
“And the bike kept going and I was laying on the ground. So that’s about the end of that.”
A spokesperson for the 72-year-old confirmed the story and said that Leno will still return to the stage as despite the accident.
“He had a shoulder operation, and that was about a week ago. And he has some trouble with his knees. He can walk around. He comes to work every day,” the spokesperson added.
