Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo was hurt in a bus crash around 7:30 am Sunday morning while traveling to Boston from Toronto for a concert Monday at Boston University's Agganis Arena. Along with another passenger, Cuomo, 40, was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam, New York after complaining of bruising to the ribs.
Cuomo's wife, daughter and another passenger were also on board the tour bus, but were not injured.
The back of the bus skidded on ice, according to CNN, which interviewed the bus driver. The bus then "went into the median and hit some reflective posts before crossing back over the highway, going over the guardrail and landing in a ditch."
It had snowed about two inches in the area the night before, and on Sunday morning the roads were wet, according to Sgt. Brian Dollard of the New York State Police. Officials do not believe drugs or alcohol played a part in the accident.
Weezer are currently on tour for their latest album, 'Raditude,' with several more U.S. dates lined up in December in January.
