(CNN) — Jay Leno claims he broke multiple bones in a motorcycle accident months after sustaining severe facial burns from another mishap.
In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the former presenter said that on January 17 he fell off the motorcycle and broke his clavicle, two ribs and two kneecaps.
“But I’m fine!” Leno said. “I’m fine, I’m working. I’m working this weekend.”
The comedian, who has a stand-up residency in Las Vegas, explained that he had been testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle when he smelled spilling gasoline.
“So I turned down a side street and cut into a parking lot, and unknown to me, some guy had a wire running across the parking lot, but no flag hanging,” Leno said. “So I didn’t see him until it was too late. He hit me and threw me off the bike.”
Leno said he did not initially make the accident public because of all the publicity he had received following the November incident in which he burned his face while working under a 1907 vintage car.
“The fuel line was clogged, so I was under it. It sounded like it was clogged, and I said, ‘Blow some air down the line, and so he did,'” recalled Leno, an avid car collector. “And all of a sudden, ‘boom,’ gasoline was all over my face. And then the pilot started and my face went up in flames.”
After being released from the hospital after that accident, Leno posed for a photo with some of the employees at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles where he was treated.
CNN has contacted Leno’s representatives for more information about his motorcycle accident.
