The lead singer of the rock band Weezer has suffered minor injuries after the group’s tour bus hit some ice, skidded across the New York State Thruway and slid into a ditch.
Police say singer Rivers Cuomo and the band’s assistant, Sarah Kim, were taken to a hospital in Amsterdam, New York
following Sunday’s early morning accident, which occurred about 40 miles west of Albany.
Cuomo’s wife and 2-year-old daughter were also in the bus, but were unhurt.
According to the Albany Times-Union, Cuomo and Kim both complained of back pain following the incident, which occurred at about 7 a.m.
State police say the group was driving to Boston, Mass., when the vehicle struck ice and the driver lost control.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1992, Weezer had a handful of hits two years later with the songs “Undone — The Sweater Song,” ”Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.”
