The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department tells EW that a driver crashed a black Lincoln Navigator into a parked vehicle around the 25600 block of southern California's Pacific Coast Highway on Tuesday. LASD said that the driver "might have suffered a medical emergency before the crash," and that he was transported to a hospital for treatment.

LASD did not identify Simmons as the driver in the incident, but NBC reported that the musician was the driver in question, and that the incident occurred around 1 p.m.

NBC4 reported that Simmons said that he either fainted or passed out, causing him to crash into a parked vehicle.

However, Simmons' representative tells EW, "I don't believe he ever said that."

NBC4 also reported that the musician's wife, Shannon Tweed, claimed that Simmons' doctors recently changed his medication. The outlet also said that Simmons was taken to a hospital after the accident to be checked out.

The musician previously experienced a bout of dehydration while performing at Manaus Stadium in Brazil. "[I] experienced weakness because of dehydration," Simmons wrote on X at the time. "We stopped for about five minutes, I drank some water, and then all was well. Nothing serious."

Simmons temporarily halted the performance and ultimately finished the track "Say Yeah" while sitting down.**
