USAIN Bolt was involved in a minor car crash shortly before dawn on Sunday in his Caribbean homeland of Jamaica but is not hurt, according to the publicist for the world?s fastest man.
Carole Beckford said the three-time Olympic champion was returning from a party with friends in the early hours of Sunday when he was involved in a 貌fender bender贸 in Jamaica?s capital of Kingston.
貌There were no injuries at all. He is fine and resting at home,贸 Beckford said.
Police in the Half-Way-Tree area where the accident took place say they are still investigating but it appears that the sprinting champ somehow lost control of his black BMW and swerved into guard rails shortly after 5am local time.
Fellow Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell was traveling in another car at the time and was at the scene of Bolt?s accident.
貌My friend and countryman (Bolt) is ok after a fender bender,贸 Powell?s Twitter account said on Sunday morning.
Powell?s Twitter feed also dispelled rumors that he was also hurt: 貌Contrary to the news, I was in another car.贸
Bolt and Powell had just returned to Jamaica after competing at the Diamond League meet in Norway.
