Weezer’s frontman was in a bus accident

Weezer singer-guitarist Rivers Cuomo has been hospitalized for minor injuries after his tour bus skidded off the road in upstate New York at approximately 7:30 a.m. According to CNN, the bus was on the New York State Thruway around 40 miles west of Albany en route from Toronto, Ontario, to Boston after a light snowstorm when the rear of the vehicle slipped on ice, ran into several reflective road posts and jumped a guardrail, landing in a ditch. Cuomo was brought to St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam, New York, via ambulance complaining of rib pain, along with his assistant, Sarah Kim, the Utica Observer-Dispatch reports. The frontman’s wife, Kyoko, and their two-year-old daughter were on the bus, but not injured; the bus was transporting one additional passenger who was also uninjured in the crash.
