(CNN) - Rocker Gene Simmons is recovering at home after he passed out while driving and hit a parked car.

The 76-year-old Kiss co-founder and bassist crashed into a parked car Tuesday in Malibu, California. He reportedly lost consciousness just before the wreck and veered across several lanes of traffic.

Simmons’ wife, Shannon Tweed-Simmons, says he blacked out because he was on new medication and became dehydrated. First responders took him to the hospital, and he was later discharged.

Simmons wrote Wednesday on X that he is “completely fine” and described the wreck as a “slight fender bender.”
