Actor Dax Shepard requires surgery after breaking multiple bones in a motorcycle accident at a racetrack in California.
Speaking on this week's episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, Shepard revealed that he broke multiple bones when he went "over the handlebars" during a motorcycle accident at the weekend.
He said: "I was passing six guys on Sonoma Raceway on a motorcycle and I was braking very, very hard – hard enough that the back wheel was off the ground for a good 100 yards.
"I was totally at blame, I thought I would be able to slide in between, but someone turned in and I was already under full braking and I couldn't go anywhere."
45-year-old Shepard, who is married to Kristin Bell, explained that he "landed pretty hard" after he "clipped their bumper" and "went over the handlebars," ian incident he described as a "little demoralizing."
"First time I've ever been down on the track," he said. "It was a bummer."
"I've been at the hospital for seven hours today," Shepard continued. "The final tally was four broken ribs, the clavicle's broken in three places, and I need surgery.
"I broke my hand that I'd broke a couple months ago. But good news, I had broke three of those (fingers) ... and those held up. ... (But) my pinkie ... it broke."
