Aerosmith’s guitarist Joe Perry injured

Middleborough: Authorities say Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry was rear-ended by a car when he was riding a motorcycle, and he has been treated for minor injuries at a Massachusetts hospital. Middleborough police say Perry was on his 2009 Ducati Monster 696 early Thursday afternoon when he was struck from behind by a car driven by 62-year-old Linda O`Brien. Both vehicles were traveling at a low speed. The 59-year-old Perry, who lives in nearby Duxbury, was taken to a hospital and released a couple of hours later. A hospital spokeswoman did not release the nature of his injuries. O`Brien, who was not injured, was cited for following too closely. The accident is not expected to affect any of Aerosmith`s scheduled concert dates. Bureau Report
