Former host of NBC’s The Tonight Show Jay Leno is currently receiving treatment at a burn centre after suffering a serious injury to his face.

According to a TMZ article, Leno was in his garage in Los Angeles, California when one of his cars burst into flames without warning yesterday (November 13). Although burned on the left side of his face and still receiving treatment, sources say the damage did not penetrate his eye or ear.

Leno’s love for cars is well known and he has been hosting a show about motor vehicles and bikes called Jay Leno’s Garage since 2014.
