CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 1 (UPI) -- LeRoi Moore, the saxophone player for the Dave Matthews band, has been seriously hurt in an all-terrain vehicle accident in Virginia, TMZ.com said Tuesday.

The entertainment news Web site said Moore, 46, was riding the ATV at his farm outside of Charlottesville, Va., when he crashed. The report did not specify what kind of injuries the musician sustained.

Moore was transported to the University of Virginia Medical Center where he was treated and is now listed in fair condition, TMZ.com said.

"Please join us all in wishing LeRoi a speedy and complete recovery," a message on the band's Web site said.

Jeff Coffin, the saxophonist for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, reportedly is to take over for Moore until he recovers from his injuries.
