Jay Leno spotted behind the wheel after gas fire injuries

Jay Leno is back in the driver’s seat less than two weeks after a fiery accident that left him severely burned.

The 72-year-old funnyman and former “Tonight Show” host was spotted driving a Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG to his Burbank, California, garage on Tuesday — the same spot where the incident happened on Nov. 13.

Close-up pictures show the remnants of Leno’s intense injuries, with his chin, ear and hands red and bloody.

Leno previously explained that he was working on his 115-year-old car when a fuel leak and a simultaneous spark in the 1907 White Steam Car triggered an explosion.

He was released from the Grossman Burn Center on Monday, where he smiled with staff members for a photo before he left. Leno had visible scars on his face and hands in the picture.

Leno allowed “Inside Edition” cameras to film him being treated in a hyperbaric chamber. Despite receiving skin grafts and another surgical procedure this week, he was reportedly walking around and cracking jokes with burn center employees.
