KISS co-founder Gene Simmons is said to be doing “fine” after crashing his SUV into a parked car along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
The crash occurred early Tuesday afternoon, just before 1 p.m., near Malibu Canyon Road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Simmons, 76, reportedly lost consciousness behind the wheel of his Lincoln Navigator and veered across several lanes before slamming into a parked vehicle. His wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons, told TMZ that her husband had recently been prescribed new medication and was dehydrated, which caused him to black out.
No other injuries were reported. • Gene Simmons of KISS performs during the final night of the "Kiss Farewell Tour" on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023, at Madison Square Garden in New York. (Photo by Evan Ag
