World famous hip hop and rap artist Sean Kingston was seriously injured on Sunday in a jet skiing accident at Miami Beach in Florida, USA.
Both he and an unnamed female passenger crashed head on into a bridge at around 6pm local time whilst riding their jet ski, and went into the sea. Crew on a passing boat raced over in their life jackets and hauled the pair out of the water.
The two victims were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and reports say both were taken to the trauma ward, suggesting that they might both be in a critical condition. Official reports are vague, however, with one of Kingston's representatives releasing the following short statement: "Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes."
Police are investigating the incident and have reported that they do not suspect that alcohol has played a part in the incident.
People around the world will be praying for a full recovery for the 21-year-old “Beautiful Girls” singer and his female friend. After news of the accident surfaced, social micro blogging site Twitter erupted with get-well messages for the star, from both fans and celebrities.
"got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight. a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well." tweets young singer, Justin Bieber.
Meanwhile Rihanna tweeted "Sean we praying for u baby".
Within hours of the news breaking, the number one topic of discussion on the site became #prayforseankingston, with Jet Ski Crash ranking number seven.
