Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock was cited Wednesday morning after falling asleep at the wheel and crashing into a city truck in Portland, Oregon.

The Oregonian reported today the singer failed to stop at a red light in downtown Portland, hitting the stopped pickup, which hit a Subaru, which hit another Subaru. That car likely hit another vehicle, but the driver left the scene, perhaps not realizing the car had been pegged.

According to Portland Police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson, Brock showed no signs of intoxication and was cited for careless driving. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries and there will be no further investigation into the matter.

The incident comes just days after Modest Mouse wrapped their co-headlining tour with Brand New in Portland, which is also Brock's adopted home.
