Rivers Cuomo and his assistant suffered minor injuries early this morning when the Weezer tour bus skidded on some ice and lost control according to
WSYR.
State Police say the tour bus, registered to Night Train Coach, was about 40 miles west of Albany and traveling to Boston when it slid on some ice on the roadway. The bus skidded into the median and then back across the east bound lanes, through the guardrail, and came to a rest in a ditch along the right shoulder of the thruway.
The lead singer and his assistant were transported to a hospital in Amsterdam, NY. Rivers wife and 2 year old daughter were also on the bus, and they are both uninjured.
The band is suppose to play Boston tomorrow, no word yet if that gig was cancelled.
BTW is wrong for me to wonder if he was wearing a Weezer Snuggie at the time of the crash?

UPDATE: Karl just posted an update on Weezer.com that Rivers suffered 3 cracked ribs and sustained some mostly minor but very painful internal damage, as well as hurting his lower leg somehow. He also added that the tour has been cancelled because of the accident. Hopefully Rivers will be better soon.
