Comedian Jay Leno was injured in a motorcycle accident only a couple months after being injured in a garage fire in his home in Los Angeles, California.

The motorcycle accident reportedly happened Jan. 17 when he was drove into a wire strung across a parking lot. 

"I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike,” he also said.

The 72-year-old comedian said he broke his collarbone and two ribs and "cracked" his kneecaps.

As a result of the house fire, Leno said that he suffered severe burns on his upper body and face.
