Weezer singer hurt when bus skids off road in NY
GLEN, N.Y. ñ The lead singer of the rock band Weezer has suffered minor injuries after the group’s tour bus hit some ice, skidded across the New York State Thruway and slid into a ditch.
Police say singer Rivers Cuomo and the band’s assistant were taken to a local hospital following Sunday’s early morning accident in upstate New York, about 40 miles west of Albany. The assistant also suffered minor injuries.
Cuomo’s wife and 2-year-old daughter were also in the bus. They were not hurt.
State police say the group was driving to Boston when the vehicle struck ice and the driver lost control.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1992, Weezer had a handful of hits two years later with the songs “Undone ó The Sweater Song,” “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.”
