A legendary rock star's close call: Gene Simmons, the iconic KISS vocalist, was in a startling car accident in Los Angeles. But here's the twist: it wasn't just a typical fender bender. According to reports, Simmons passed out behind the wheel, leading to a collision with a parked car.
The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon, as confirmed by the Lost Hills Sheriff's Department. NBC4 Los Angeles revealed that Simmons himself admitted to fainting while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway. This prompted a witness to call 911, bringing deputies and firefighters to the scene.
And this is where it gets controversial - the cause of Simmons' fainting spell. His wife, Shannon, disclosed to TMZ that he had recently started a new medication and was dehydrated, which may have led to the episode. But was it solely due to dehydration, or could there be other factors at play? Medical emergencies while driving are a serious concern, especially when they lead to accidents.
Simmons was hospitalized but later released to recover at home. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. He reassured fans via X, stating, 'I'm completely fine.'
