Jay Leno Ditches Eye Patch, Takes McLaren for a Spin After Nasty Fall

Jay Leno isn’t letting a gnarly facial injury slow him down — he was spotted living it up, cruising around L.A. in his fancy McLaren like a total boss.

Check out this clip of Jay pulling over in his flashy orange McLaren sports car to give a health update — explaining he ditched the eye patch he was rocking earlier this week … because his eye finally opened up after being swollen shut.

Despite the good news, Jay was still sporting a massive black-and-blue bruise on his face,  and he had his arm in a sling while out and about later Tuesday.

Still, Jay seemed in great spirits cruising in his McLaren, so it’s safe to say he’s on the fast track to recovery — literally and figuratively!

ICYMI, Jay spilled the tea to TMZ about his accident — he was staying at a hotel before a show recently, and decided to take a “shortcut” to a restaurant about a mile away, which ended with him tumbling down a hill. He then performed that night … before he went to the hospital.
