The lead singer of the rock band Weezer suffered minor injuries when the group’s tour bus hit some ice, skidded across the New York State Thruway, struck a guardrail and slid into a ditch in the upstate town of Glen early yesterday.

Rivers Cuomo, 39, and the band’s assistant, identified as Sarah Kim, were taken to a local hospital following the accident about 40 miles west of Albany. Kim suffered minor injuries.

Cuomo’s wife and 2-year-old daughter also were on the bus, but were unhurt. They were traveling to Boston, where the band was scheduled to perform today.
