Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke spoke with AOL's Noisecreep about his recovery from a hit-and-run accident on his motorcycle on January 10. In the interview Clarke reveals his frustration with police's inability to bring the hit n' run driver to justice. Noisecreep: Can you recount what happened with your hit and run, which is the worst kind of health scare. Gilby: I was riding my 1965 Harley that I customized myself, riding back from a show, when some dumb ass made a left hand turn in front of me. It knocked me down, and when I woke up, my leg was busted and the other was twisted. He did a burn out and took off.
Noisecreep: Has he ever been caught? Gilby: It is strange. They did not find him, but a friend found out who it was. No one got a license plate number and there were a number of different descriptions of the truck and not a lot of evidence. But somehow, one of my friends overheard a guy talking about how he hit a motorcycle and said that he took off since he had no insurance, no driver's license. I gave the info to a detective, but he didn't do anything. Since there were no eyewitnesses, there was nothing they could do. The LAPD won't do anything unless you die. It was extremely frustrating. - Read the full interview here
