That is absolutely true. It happened back in January 1948. Les shattered his right arm and elbow in a near fatal accident on an icy Route 66.
The accident shattered his right elbow beyond repair, at least with 1948 medical technology.

He had the option of them setting it straight or, at about 90 degrees so he could still play.
It's exactly why you always see pics of Les with his right arm bent at about 90 degrees in precisely the position he told the doctors to set it.

Yes, he was pretty active and was still playing guitar in his later years.
He still had the original multi track recorder he designed and built, set up at his house in Mahwah MJ of all places.
