Usain Bolt and a female companion were not injured in a car accident confirmed by Jamaican officials, per a copyrighted story on the BBC UK site (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/8025961.stm). Bolt was driving a BMW M3, when his car left the road. The road was described as rain soaked.
A humble suggestion from RBR: with all of the money Mr. Bolt is making, or wants to make, he is a serious investment in the sport. We at RBR would like to suggest that perhaps it is time to find the gentleman a permanent driver. Usain is a normal young guy, who likes cars, having fun, etc. Keep him safe.
