Jay Leno is somewhat of a living inspiration and cautionary tale all-in-one to gearheads. Two months after experiencing third-degree burns due to his garage accident, the 72-year-old comedian revealed he recently got into a motorcycle wreck, suffering major injuries again. Detailing the incident to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Leno shared that the January 17 incident, which he kept quiet until now, happened as he was testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle. Noticing the smell of leaking gas, Leno recalled that he “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.” That’s when the wire knocked Leno off his bike, sending him flying while “the bike kept going.” Emerging with a broken collarbone, two fractured ribs, and two cracked kneecaps, Leno insisted to the Journal, “I’m OK!,” adding that he was even working in the coming weekend.

Although it remains to be seen how fast Leno’s recovery will be this time around, he was left with pretty damaged skin after last November’s burns. In a photo obtained by Today, Leno, while flashing a peace sign to fans at a gas station, showcased a gnarly gash across his forearm and visibly burnt skin across his hands and chin.
