FRESNO, Calif.—Sen. John McCain sported a bandage atop his head after a run-in with an automobile rooftop.

The Republican presidential candidate said he banged his head while getting out of his vehicle during a visit to Canada last Friday.

The Arizona senator has suffered from skin cancer, prompting a reporter's question at a news conference at Fresno State University on Monday.

"I was getting out of the car in Canada and I hit the roof a teenie bit," McCain said. "The car was much smaller than the one I'm usually being ferried about in by our beloved Secret Service."

He said, "oh no, it was a brush with a low-hanging door," when asked if the bandage visible atop his head was related to skin cancer.
