Rivers Cuomo Hospitalized After Bus Accident

Rivers Cuomo, who is the lead singer for Weezer, and his assistant Sarah were taken to the hospital in Amsterdam this morning after being injured. Cuomo said he had rib pain after a bus he and his family were riding in crashed in New York. Cuomo fractured three ribs, while his assistant Sarah fractured two ribs and a lumbar vertebrae in the accident.

The bus driver said the accident occurred at around 7:30 this morning, when he lost control of the vehicle after hitting a patch of ice. The driver said the bus went into the median, hit reflective posts, crossed back over the highway and crashed into a ditch.

There have been so many bus crashes lately, but at least this one wasn’t a tour bus.

Weezer tour dates have been cancelled until Cuomo recovers.
