Sean Kingston is currently in the trauma ward of a Miami hospital, following an injury reportedly suffered in a jet ski accident on Sunday (May 29).
According to the Miami Herald, Kingston (real name: Kisean Anderson) was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital after he and a female passenger aboard his personal watercraft crashed into the Palm Island Bridge around 6:00 p.m. EST. A boater rescued the pair from the water, and Miami Fire Rescue crews rushed Kingston and the passenger to the hospital.
A representative for Jackson Memorial Hospital has confirmed to Billboard.com that the 21-year-old pop star is in the Ryder Trauma Center. The singer is currently "being evaluated," although no details regarding his injuries have been released.
Kingston's publicist has issued the following statement: "Sean Kingston was in a accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well wishes."
Since breaking out with debut single "Beautiful Girls," which topped the Hot 100 for four weeks in 2007, Kingston has scored hits like "Take You There," "Fire Burning" and "Eenie Meenie" with Justin Bieber, who he joined on tour last year.
