The front man of the band, John Popper, and a couple other band members were injured when their tour bus lost control on I-90 and crashed into the center median ditch, leaving several people injured, Minnesota police shared with TMZ in a piece published Thursday.

Three of the band members were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Popper shared news about the crash on Facebook and explained he injured his ribs while another bandmate suffered a dislocated shoulder, the outlet noted.

“This morning our tour bus went off the road and crossed the median,” a message on the band’s Facebook page read. “Thankfully we are all safe and have only sustained minor injuries. Our sincere gratitude to the Winona MN, Police Department and Rescue Crew for their help getting us safely off the highway and out of oncoming traffic.”

Despite the crash, Blues Traveler is expected to perform their previously scheduled show Friday night at Mayo Civic Park in Rochester.
