GLEN, N.Y. -- Fans of alternative rock band Weezer may have to wait to hear the band play. The band was involved in an accident early Sunday morning on the New York State Thruway.
Police said one of the band's five tour buses slid off the highway, went over a guardrail and landed in a ditch. The bus was traveling from Toronto and headed to Boston, the latest stop of their Ratitude Tour.
Inside the bus were five passengers including the band's lead singer Rivers Cuomo, his wife, daughter and an assistant.
Cuomo and the band's assistant were taken here to St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam. Officials say Cuomo was complaining of having rib pain, but overall they were both treated for minor injuries.
Police don't suspect drugs or alcohol to be factors in the accident. They do believe the weather and icy conditions are to blame.
