In 1966, news broke that Bob Dylan had been badly injured in a motorcycle accident, but nobody seemed to know the details. Nearly 60 years later, details about the accident are still muddy. Dylan hasn’t spoken much about it, but others have divided themselves into two camps. Some say the accident left the musician with serious injuries, while others doubt it ever happened. According to Dylan biographer Daniel Mark Epstein, the musician did have an accident, but not in the way people might think.

Bob Dylan hurt himself in a motorcycle accident

In 1966, Dylan retreated from public life after a motorcycle accident. Details about his injuries were few and far between, but, according to Epstein, the accident was nowhere as severe as people thought.
