Isaac Brock and the city of Portland do not get along. Last year, the Modest Mouse frontman trashed his adopted home, describing it as "kind of a crappy weird" and "a collection of human turds." And now, OregonLive reports that the musician has crashed into a stopped City Of Portland pickup truck after falling asleep at the wheel. According to a report from Portland police, 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)." Or, in other words, he hit a Parks truck, which hit 2 Subarus, which hit a car that just drove off sometimes life's okay. Brock was evaluated for signs of intoxication, but no impairment was found, so he was just cited for careless driving. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries, and the investigation has been closed.

UPDATE: Brock tells TMZ he suffered a bruised sternum from his Land Rover's airbag. Another driver was hospitalized with a concussion.
