Winter ice causes havoc on the road. Rivers Cuomo, the singer-guitarist for rock band Weezer, was hospitalized early Sunday morning after the group's tour bus skidded off a frozen New York highway.
A bus carrying Rivers Cuomo, his family, and his assistants in upstate New York hit a patch of black ice and "[plunged] about 8-10 vertical feet into a muddy ravine off to the right of the Thruway." Nobody was seriously injured, though one of Cuomo's assistants "sustained two fractured ribs and a fractured lower vertebrae," Cuomo himself "cracked three ribs and sustained some mostly minor but very painful internal damage," and everyone was clearly shaken.
For now, tour dates are canceled with plans to reschedule at a later time.
