Even stars can get hurt in motorcycle accidents.
As some of you may have heard by now, Aerosmith lead guitarist, Joe Perry, 59, was involved in a Middleborough, Massachusetts motorcycle crash last Thursday, July 15.
The Associated Press reported that Perry was riding his motorcycle, a 2009 Ducati Monster 696 when he was rear-ended by a car last Thursday afternoon in Middleborough. The driver of the car, a sedan, Linda O’Brien, 62, reportedly rear-ended Perry on Route 44 East (also known as Plympton Street).
Luckily, both the sedan and Perry’s motorcycle were traveling at a low speeds at the time of the accident.
Perry was injured in the crash, though the nature of his injuries in not certain. It is only known that he was not seriously injured. Emergency medical services that arrived at the scene transported Perry to the Morton Hospital and Medical Center in Taunton, Massachusetts, where was treated and released within a couple of hours following the accident.
O’Brien was not hurt, as is usually the case with car drivers involved in collisions with motorcycles. She was issued a citation by police for following too closely.
Aerosmith’s scheduled concerts dates will not be affected by Perry’s accident, reports say.
