Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo (left center) was in a bus accident earlier this morning in Upstate New York. Rivers and his family were in a bus going from one gig to another when their bus slid on some ice.

Rivers complained of rib pain and was transferred, along with one other passenger, to St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam, New York. Cuomo’s wife, daughter, and a fifth passenger on the bus were uninjured. The bus was traveling from Toronto, Ontario, to Boston, Massachusetts, for a show Monday night at the Agganis Arena at Boston University.

Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected as a factor in the accident.

Currently the Weezer tour with Motion City Soundtrack has been canceled.

Get well, Rivers!
