Singer Sean Kingston In Critical Conditon After Crashing His Jet Ski In Miami

UPDATE:

"Sean Kingston is now stabilized and has moved from the trauma unit to ICU," Kingston's publicist, Joseph Carozza, tells E! News. "Sean's family thanks everyone for their prayers and support during this time."21 year old singer Sean Kingston and a female passenger were injured when the watercraft hit the Palm Island Bridge around 6 p.m. Sunday, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said. 

The Miami Herald reports that a passing boater saw the accident and took the two on board his vessel.  Both were hospitalized early Monday at Ryder Trauma Center, but Pino said he didn't know their conditions. 

Authorities are investigating the crash, and "nothing at this point would indicate that alcohol played a role," Pino said.

The bystander Jose Vega and pals were in a boat and approaching Palm Island Bridge when they saw that a jet ski had just crashed and people were in the water.

They immediately jumped in to save them. Kingston was "extremely dazed," says Vega and had come partly out of his life vest. "He was in danger of drowning," the 34-year-old student said.

Kingston's female passenger from the jet ski was securely in her life vest and floating nearby, but also seemed to be going in and out of consciousness.  Vega described Kingston has having a severe gash on his neck and bleeding profusely.


Vega and one of his friends -- who amazingly is a member of the Coast Guard -- kept Kingston afloat and then got the singer and his friend on to a rescue boat.


Kingston rose to fame with his 2007 hit "Beautiful Girls" and was also featured on songs by artists including Justin Bieber. His self-titled debut album sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
