Weezer frontman, Rivers Cuomo was injured early this morning when his tour bus slid on ice and crashed into a ditch on the New York State Thruway.
He was transferred to St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam, NY, where he was treated for rib pain. Rivers’ wife and daughter who were also on the bus were uninjured, but a fourth unidentified passenger was taken to the hospital after complaining of pain.
According to the bus driver, the vehicle slid on ice around 7:30 this morning, and hit some reflective posts before going over a guardrail and ending up in a ditch. They were travelling from Toronto, Ontario to Boston, Massachusetts for a show at the Agganis Arena at BU.
No word yet on Rivers’ current condition. Drugs and alcohol were not suspected to be a factor.
Update: According to Rivers’ assistant, the singer fractured two ribs and a lower vertebrae in the accident. Weezer has just canceled all of their December tour dates to give Rivers time to heal from his injuries.
