Jay Leno Is Recovering From Surgery After a Motorcycle Accident
-
Jay Leno, the former “Tonight Show” host also known for his obsession with cars, had surgery on Tuesday to repair multiple broken bones after a motorcycle accident in early January, he said in an interview on Friday.
He seemed to be back in good spirits: “A 72-year-old man driving an 83-year-old motorcycle. What could go wrong?” he quipped.
Mr. Leno said he was test riding a 1940 Indian four-cylinder motorcycle on Jan. 17, when he noticed the smell of gas coming from the bike.
He turned down a side street to check the motorcycle and was thrown off it after riding through a wire he could not see. The accident left him with a scar across his neck, two broken ribs, two broken kneecaps and a snapped collarbone that he had surgically repaired.
