Woody Harrelson Got Into Motorcycle Accident on His Way to an Interview. 'Cheers' Co-Star Ted Danson Treated the Wound.

Woody Harrelson Got Into a Motorcycle Accident on the Way to an Interview and His ‘Cheers’ Co-Star Ted Danson Treated the Wound: ‘He Could’ve Been Hurt Badly’

By Zack Sharf

Woody Harrelson revealed on the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast that he got into a motorcycle accident while he was driving to the studio to record the interview alongside his “Cheers” co-star and longtime friend Ted Danson. Harrelson collided with a Tesla and was thrown over his handlebars and over the hood of the car. He was wearing a helmet and avoided any potential head injury.

“A tumble is a fair term. I did go over my handlebars,” Harrelson revealed on the podcast following the accident. “I was honestly and embarrassingly passing this Tesla on the left that I felt was moving a little slow and I didn’t realize he was moving slow because he was taking a left. I was on a motorcycle.”

“I always feel like the shortest distance between two points in L.A. is a motorcycle. But today it proved not to be so very fast in terms of transporting. … I always thought I would be ok. I felt there was some pain involved. I felt the pain but I never thought I’d be killed or anything or maimed.”

Harrelson did sustain a wound on his wrist; none other than Danson patched him up when he got to the podcast studio. Danson once played a doctor on the soap opera “The Doctors.” The interview ended up starting late because of the accident.
