Hasselhoff, Wife Injured in Crash
“Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff and his wife suffered broken bones Thursday when the actor lost control of a motorcycle in West Los Angeles and hit a curb, police said.
Strong gusty winds were blamed for the crash, which occurred about 3 p.m. on Sepulveda Boulevard beneath the San Diego Freeway, said Police Officer Jason Lee.
Hasselhoff was thrown against a light pole; his wife, actress Pamela Bach, fell onto the roadway. Both were wearing helmets, Sgt. Christopher Kuntz said.
They were taken to UCLA Medical Center, where Hasselhoff, 50, was treated for possible lower back fractures, a broken rib and cuts and bruises, Kuntz said. Bach, 39, was treated for a fractured ankle and wrist.
“They’re in stable condition and will probably go home tomorrow,” said Warren Cowan, a publicist for Hasselhoff.
