Rock legend Gene Simmons has emerged unharmed from a frightening motor accident that left his vehicle severely damaged on one of California's most iconic coastal routes.
The Kiss bassist and co-founder, renowned for his demonic stage persona, found himself in a real-life drama when his black Cadillac Escalade was involved in a collision on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu earlier this week.
The Scene of the Incident
Emergency services rushed to the scene following reports of the accident involving the 74-year-old music icon. Photographs from the incident show Simmons' luxury SUV with significant front-end damage, positioned dangerously close to oncoming traffic lanes.
Despite the severity of the impact that left his vehicle with a smashed front bumper and visible structural damage, the rock veteran remarkably escaped without any physical injuries.
A Calm Demeanor Amidst Chaos
Eyewitnesses described Simmons as maintaining his characteristic composure throughout the ordeal. The musician was photographed speaking calmly with first responders and other drivers involved in the incident, a stark contrast to his fiery stage presence.
Dressed casually in a black t-shirt and trousers, the rock star handled the situation with the professionalism of someone who's faced countless high-pressure situations throughout his five-decade career.
Continuing the Legacy
This incident comes at a significant time for Simmons and Kiss, who recently concluded their monumental 'End of the Road' world tour after 45 years of performing. The final shows marked the end of an era for one of rock music's most visually spectacular acts.
Despite retiring from touring, Simmons remains active in various business ventures and media appearances, proving that even a serious car accident can't slow down the legendary performer.
The Malibu Police Department has confirmed they responded to the incident but haven't released further details regarding fault or potential citations issued.
