Jay Leno reveals friend saved his life during car fire as he suffers third-degree burns
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jay Leno, the famous comedian, and the classic car lover could have "died" in the fire that broke out in his famed Burbank, Los Angeles garage on Saturday, November 12. The former host of 'The Tonight Show' narrowly escaped death but seriously burnt his hands and the left side of his face when there was a gasoline leak. The former host has now credited his buddy Dave, who worked alongside him in the garage for saving his life with his quick thinking.
The 'You Bet Your Life' host told TMZ from his hospital bed that he was working on his 105-year-old, 1907 White Steam Car in his famed garage this past Saturday, fixing a clogged fuel line. He claims there was a fuel leak and that gasoline sprayed on his face and hands. Almost simultaneously, a spark set off an explosion, setting the comedian on fire.
