Gene Simmons was briefly hospitalized after crashing his car into a parked vehicle on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Tuesday afternoon.

According to NBC 4 Los Angeles , the Kiss star told responding officers that he either passed out or fainted while driving. A police spokesman said Simmons' car "careened across several lanes of traffic" before hitting the other vehicle.

Simmons' wife Shannon Tweed told the station that her husband was now recovering at home, and that doctors had recently changed his medications. Apparently dehydration was also a factor, as Tweed noted that the "God of Thunder" singer has also been ordered, against his preferences, to drink more water.

Simmons himself left NBC 4 a voicemail message, assuring them that he is doing fine.
