Sean Kingston’s longtime friend, Cassandra Sanchez, was the passenger on the jet ski during the accident that left the young hip hop star in a critical condition at a hospital in Miami. Cassandra, who fortunately came out of the accident with only a sore rib and jaw, claims Sean was driving too fast when they crashed into a bridge.
Sean Kingston In Critical Condition After Jet Ski Crash
Cassandra and one of her girl friends joined Sean and one of his buddies to ride jet skis. They started some sort of race as they left the dock at the same time and Sean drove as fast as he could. The girl warned Sean to slow down when they got closer to the bridge.
“Both jet skis pulled out of the dock at the same time and we were going so fast we just blasted past them. When we turned a corner and crashed … they were so far behind us they didn’t even see us crash,” Cassandra told TMZ. As they raced towards the bridge, she screamed out, “We can’t fit under there! Are we going to try and go under there? Sean stop!”
Sean apparently did not slow down and didn’t even try to stop. Cassandra believes he tried to turn away from the bridge, but it was too late and he must have lost control of the water-vehicle.
Cassandra only remembers waking up in the water and trying to prevent Sean from swallowing any more water as the friends on the other jet ski raced over and a boat came to their rescue. She says, “[Sean] was coughing up blood, foam and pink stuff” … and when he finally opened his eyes, he kept repeating the words, ‘I’m hurting. I’m hurting’.”
Sean was treated at the trauma unit at the hospital, but his condition is currently stabilized and he is being monitored in the ICU. According to the friend, “They have a tube down his throat so he can’t really talk, but he is lucid and understands what’s going on.”
The doctors want to keep Sean for at least a couple more weeks. Fortunately, this accident did not turn into a tragedy and Sean is expected to make a full recovery. Of course, he will need some time, physical therapy and will most probably not jet ski for a long time.
