According to NBC4 Los Angeles, the incident just before 1 p.m. saw the rocker’s Lincoln Navigator crash into a parked car, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department told NBC4 Investigates.
A witness called 911 and deputies and firefighters responded to the scene.
Simmons, 76, was speaking with first responders, authorities said; he told deputies he passed out or fainted, then hit the parked car, the sheriff's department said.
Following being checked in and out of hospital, wife Shannon Tweed told NBC4 Investigates that Simmons is recovering at home. She said doctors recently changed his medications and that he needs to drink more water -- something of which he's not a fan.
Simmons posted an update on his condition on Wednesday, saying “Thanks, everybody, for the kind wishes. I’m completely fine. I had a slight fender bender. It happens. Especially to those of us were horrible drivers. And that’s me. All is well.”
