Andy Greene from Rollingstone.com is reporting:
Last Friday, Joe Perry pulled his Ducati motorcycle up to a traffic light, waited until it turned green and then put the bike into gear. "Next thing I know, I'm on tarmac looking up at the sky," the AEROSMITH guitarist tells Rolling Stone. "This woman behind me just didn't slow down at the light. She was going 25-30 miles per hour and just rear-ended me. Everything on the bike from the engine back is smashed up, but I don't even have a black and blue mark. I can't believe it. I'm just really lucky."
Within minutes the police and EMT arrived on the scene, and they insisted that Perry go to the hospital. "I definitely felt banged up," he says. "I had whiplash and my lower back was throbbing. I've been in enough accidents to know that you don't know how banged up you are for a while. The doctor went over everything and said that nothing was broken or bleeding. I didn't even need x-rays. I spent the entire weekend pretty sore, tracing ice packs."
