Jay Leno seems to be going through a period of bad luck lately. After suffering second-degree burns in a garage fire last November, the comedian had a new accident with a vintage motorcycle leading to a few injuries. Thankfully, the 70-year-old celebrity is recovering well and still plans on performing this weekend in Las Vegas.

Leno first talked about his new accident during an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The incident took place on January 17, as he was testing a vintage Indian motorcycle from 1940.

During the test drive, he noticed a smell of gasoline which prompted him to check for leaks. “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. So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.”

As a result of the fall, the comedian suffered a broken collar bone, two broken ribs, and two cracked kneecaps. While those injuries sound really serious – and painful – Leno assured everyone that he is ok now. He also confirmed that he will be working this weekend doing his stand-up shows in Las Vegas as planned.

The reason the comedian didn’t openly discuss his motorcycle accident prior to his recent interview, was the massive amount of media coverage for his recent burns.
