Comedian and automotive aficionado Jay Leno was left counting his lucky stars after enduring second-degree burns in November 2022. Leno sustained the injury while repairing a fuel line on one of his many antique cars. Miraculously, the 72-year-old recovered in no time, but just two months later, in January 2023, Leno returned to the hospital following a motorcycle crash.
As Leno describes it, he noticed that one of the carburetors on his 1940 Indian Four (with sidecar) was leaking fuel. In an attempt to shorten his ride back home, the comedian cut through an adjacent parking lot. Unfortunately, Leno didn’t see the wire strung across the parking lot until it was too late. The subsequent crash resulted in Leno sustaining a broken collarbone, two broken ribs, and two fractured kneecaps.
