WeezerWeezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was taken to the hospital with minor injuries after the band’s tour bus crashed into a ditch on the New York State Thruway early Sunday morning, reports CBC. The band’s assistant, Sarah Kim, also went to the hospital with minor injuries.

The bus was on its way to Boston for a concert on Monday. Cuomo’s wife and two-year-old daughter were on the bus but were not hurt.

“It was perfect conditions for black ice,” Tweeted Weezer’s drummer, Patrick Wilson. “Got loose going towards the meridian, driver saves it but bus goes through guardrail into six foot ditch.”

It has not been reported whether other members of the band were on the bus or if they will perform as scheduled on Monday.

Weezer’s seventh studio album, Raditude, was released Nov. 3.
