Ann-Margret served as grand marshal of the Colonel's Truck Accessories National Hot Rod Association Nationals despite breaking some bones in a motorcycle crackup a day earlier.

The 59-year-old actress suffered three broken ribs and a fractured left shoulder when she was thrown off the motorcycle she was driving Saturday on her way from Colonel's Brainerd International Raceway to a nearby condominium, track officials said. She was treated and released.

But she was back at the track about 100 miles northwest of Minneapolis on Sunday, with her left arm in a sling, and rode in the pace car to lead the parade before the day's racing began.
