Jay Leno has undergone surgery for 'significant burns,' and will undergo a second procedure later this week, physician says
Leno, an avid car collector, had been working underneath a vehicle on Saturday when he was burned by a gasoline fire, Dr. Peter Grossman, who is treating the former "Tonight Show Host," said during a press conference Wednesday.
"His burns include his face, his hands, and his chest, the burns are fairly significant," Grossman noted. Leno's wife has been by his side and "obviously very concerned," the doctor said. His injuries are a mixture of second-degree and possibly some third-degree burns, according to Grossman.
