Based on the reports, the crash, which was another mishap, happened last week. Leno opened up his words on this misfortune that he waited till now to reveal about this accident only due to the intense attention he received from his fans and loved ones for the previous garage accident.
Leno, 72, said that the scenario was that he was eagerly testing a 1940 Indian Motorcycle and suddenly noticed the smell of gas. He soon cut into the nearby parking lot down a side street.
This made a wire, which kept overlooked, strung across the American television host and tossed him off the Indian Motorcycle.
The strung wire was across the parking with no flag of caution. This incident was detailed by the comedian to Review-Journal’s John Katsilometes.
Jay Leno was soon hospitalized, and the reports came up showing a broken collarbone, two cracked kneecaps, and broken ribs. Though the actor was suffering badly, he reassured saying that he is completely fine.

Right after the retirement of Johnny Carson in 1992, the host of NBC’s Tonight, Jay Leno took over the space. Later, Conan O’Brien occupied Leno’s longtime host space in 2009.
Soon after O’Brien hosted the show, the ratings dropped and this made the management decide to bring Jay Leno back to the show as host.
So, he returned to NBC in 2010. He continued shining as the most-rated host on NBC until 2014. Later, his role was succeeded by Jimmy Fallon.
