Isaac Brock, frontman of Oregon rockers Modest Mouse, has been in a car crash in Portland, after he reportedly fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a ute.

As The Oregonian reports, Portland Police said Brock "hit the rear of a City of Portland Parks pick-up-truck, which hit a Subaru, which hit another Subaru, which likely hit a 5th car that left the scene (perhaps not knowing it had been tapped)".

Brock reportedly failed to stop as he neared stopped traffic at a red light. Police found there was no sign of intoxication and with no serious injuries caused, Brock was cited for careless driving. 

Modest Mouse was in Australia just months ago for Bluesfest and has just finished up a tour with Brand New in the United States.
