Jay Leno has reportedly suffered broken bones following a recent motorcycle accident.
The news comes just shortly after the former television host was involved in a serious car fire that left him needing skin grafts on his face.
On November 12 last year, Leno, 72 was involved in an accident while working on one of his classic cars, when a fuel leak and a simultaneous spark in his 1907 White Steam Car triggered an explosion.
The comedian was taken to the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles where he was put in a hyperbaric chamber and underwent skin-graft surgery for burns on his face, chest, and hands.
At the time, medical professionals who treated Leno released a statement giving fans further details of the injuries he sustained at the hands of the blaze.
"Comedian Jay Leno was released from the Grossman Burn Center today," doctors shared. "After a 10-day stay at the facility, Jay will receive follow-up care at the Grossman Outpatient Burn Clinic for burns to his face, chest and hands he received during a fire at his home garage. Jay would like to let everyone know how thankful he is for the care he received, and is very appreciative of all of the well wishes. He is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with his family and friends and wishes everyone a wonderful holiday."
However, just two months later, it seems as though Leno has yet again, been involved in another accident.
NBC News reported that the 72-year-old is currently recovering from a motorcycle accident he was involved in last week. The incident left him with several broken bones.
Speaking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the talk show host revealed that he was knocked off his motorcycle on January 17 in an incident that left him with a broken collarbone, two broken ribs and two cracked kneecaps.
"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," Leno recalled. "So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.
"But I’m OK!" he added. "I’m OK, I’m working. I’m working this weekend."
Leno also explained that the reason why he didn't go public about the accident when it initially happened was due to the amount of media coverage his November accident got.
"You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free. After that, you’re Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down," he said, laughing.
We're glad to hear that Leno's doing okay despite the seriousness of the second accident and more so than that, we hope that his luck takes a turn for the better!
