(77WABC) — Jay Leno has undergone one surgery for his burn injuries and will undergo a second procedure later this week — this according to his physician.
Leno — an avid car collector — had been working underneath a vehicle on Saturday when he was burned by a gasoline fire. Dr. Peter Grossman is treating the former “Tonight Show” host, who gave details during a press conference Wednesday.
Leno was first taken to a local hospital and then was transferred to the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles after the incident. Grossman says Leno’s injuries are a mixture of second-degree and possibly some third-degree burns.
Leno’s prized collection is valued at $50 to 100 million.
