KISS Frontman Gene Simmons Crashes Into Car On PCH In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — Legendary KISS member Gene Simmons is doing OK Wednesday after his SUV smashed into a parked vehicle on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, according to a broadcast report.

The crash occurred around 1 p.m. Tuesday in the 25000 block of PCH, according to NBC4, which cited information from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

According to the station, the "I Was Made For Lovin' You" singer told investigators at the scene that he passed out or fainted while at the wheel of his Lincoln Navigator.

Simmons was taken to a hospital, but his wife Shannon Tweed told NBC4 that he won't be able to "Rock and Roll All Nite" just yet as he's recovering at home.

She also said the bassist/businessman needs to drink more water and that a recent change in his medication could have been a factor in Simmons' allowing his SUV to cross traffic lanes before hitting the parked vehicle.

No one at the sheriff's Malibu/Lost Hills station was immediately available to comment Wednesday.
