The “Jay Leno’s Garage” host revealed he broke his collarbone and ribs mere months after sustaining severe burns in a car fire.
“That was the first accident. OK?” the 72-year-old continued. “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.”
Leno assured the interviewer that he is “OK” after the Jan. 17 accident and is even working this weekend.AFP via Getty Images The “Jay Leno’s Garage” host, who will return to Sin City in March to perform for the first time since the car fire, explained that he had been testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle and noticed the scent of leaking gas — an uncanny similarity to the explosion in his garage just months prior — and wanted to pull over.
“So I turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it,” he explained. “So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clotheslined me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.“The bike kept going, and you know how that works out.”
Leno decided to keep the crash quiet because of the media coverage surrounding his November hospitalization and subsequent recovery.
