One of my favorite musical performers, Sean Kingston, from Jamaica is in bad shape today after suffering a freak accident on one of those "personal watercraft" vehicles yesterday in Miami Beach.
Kingston, is in the intensive care unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital after he slammed into bridge, authorities said.
Kingston, 21, was driving the personal watercraft with a female passenger on board when the accident occurred, said Officer Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
About 6 p.m., the hip-hop and reggae singer slammed into the Palm Island Bridge, which connects the MacArthur Causeway to Palm and Hibiscus islands. Both he and the passenger were thrown into the water, Pino said.
Kingston was born on February 3, 1990 in Miami, Florida and moved to Kingston, Jamaica when he was six. He attended high school in Ocho Rios. His grandfather by marriage was the noted Jamaican reggae producer Lawrence Lindo, who worked under the stage name Jack Ruby. At age 11, Kingston spent 21 days in jail for breaking and entering, and Kingston lived in a car while his mother was incarcerated for identity theft
A passing boater saw the accident and took the two on board his vessel.

Scores of nationally known hip-hop artists converged on Miami Beach this weekend for Urban Beach Week.
Kingston’s first single, Beautiful Girls, topped the Billboard charts for three weeks in 2007. He recently toured with pop superstar Justin Bieber.

Thoughts and prayers are with Sean. As for jet skis, as a boater and Jet Ski rider I've seen so many near collisions. Many people on jet skis don't pay attention to where they are going or know the rules of boating, such as who has the right away. There is more to riding them than seeing how fast you can go.
