Sean Kingston Walking and Breathing on His Own

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 6th 2011 01:05PM

After a near tragic jet ski accident that landed Sean Kingston in critical care, the 'Beautiful Girls' singer is finally breathing on his own and walking, according to E! Online. Kingston was left with a broken jaw and wrist and water-filled lungs after he and a female passenger crashed their jet ski into Miami's Palm Island bridge over Memorial Day weekend. Once medics arrived on the scene, Kingston was taken to a Miami hospital and placed on a breathing tube.

"Sean is breathing on his own now and walked for the first time this morning," the singer's publicist, Joseph Carozza, told E. "Sean thanks his friends, family and fans for their outpouring of prayers and well wishes."

Although Kingston has come a long way from his initial critical state, according to doctors he is still in store for several more weeks of hospital recovery. So what's the first thing Kingston will do once he's out of recovery? According TMZ, he'll thank the man who saved him. After the collision between the jet ski and Miami bridge, a member of the Coast Guard, Jonathan Rivera, saved both Kingston and his female passenger.

"I'm not worried about anything but him getting better," Rivera told TMZ. "I'm glad he is recovering and that's all that matters."

Although alcohol has been ruled out as having had any involvement in the crash, Kingston's reckless driving may be to blame. Kingston's 21-year-old female passenger, Cassandra Sanchez, who only suffered minor injuries from the collision, recalls that the pair were traveling "really fast" before she begged Kingston to slow down.

"We can't fit under there," she recalls shouting at Kingston regarding the upcoming bridge. "Are we going to try and go under there? Sean stop!"

Although Kingston is primarily focused on his recovery, we have a feeling that he'll have some explaining to do once he's back on his feet.

@andy your talking about someone who doesn't even use profanity in his music as it sends a bad message. If you don't want african americans, in the us you better build a time machine and tell your racist ancestors not to bring them here.

Another Famous Person Who is yet again getting away with doing whatever They want Sean Kingston was going too fast on that Jet Ski thats why He crashed into a Bridge but will He have to Pay a Fine NO, will He go to Jail NO, will anything happen to Him because of what He did NO go figure must be nice to be Famous You can get away with anything You want.

By Booger_Flicker75

He should go to jail for what? It wasn't a "DUI". It was young, reckless, immature, "showing-off" behavior. He should be fined for what? Landing in the hospital in critical condition? The femaled LUCKILY, escaped with minor injuries, which, no doubt, will result in either some type of law suit or insurance settlement. He was indeed, a VERY lucky young man, and was fortunate that the rest of us weren't reading about his death.

Maybe he will get sued by the chick whose life he endangered. Thats whats truly deserved because if someone damn near took my head off after I warned him to stop, I wouldnt want his money to go to lawyers to get him out of jail. That Beautiful girls money would all be mine bawahahaha!

actually it sounded like the female on the jet ski didn't have ill feelings toward him, and besides, getting on the jet ski with him driving was enough liability that if she would press charges, she wouldn't get a dime.

Hey idiot. Whats the crime for riding a jet ski too fast?

By ChrisFabiGuti

That should be a message to anyone!

By georgie

That is good news. He is a good kid who did something stupid. That which doesn't kill makes you smarter. I have always respected Sean Kingston, because he has stuck to his word of making good clean music for people to enjoy.

Stop picking on Sean Kingston... how many of you people drove wrecklessly when you were his age. He did the equivelant on a jet ski that we would do as young immature drivers in a car. Should he pay a fine ? If he was speeding in a no wake zone ...the answer is yes. As for a lawsuit, Hypothetically speaking, If you were in an accident while driving around with your buddies after school and you suffered minor injuries,would you sue your friend ? I think not. You've got better things to worry about. I have a feeling we won't be seeing Mr. Kingston on a Jet Ski for awhile..and if we do, I have a feeling he will be riding a lot less agressively. Hard Lessons are learned at his age. Get better soon Sean !

By Karyn

Do we really know how seriously injured he was? I think it
was a publicity stunt because he hasn't put out anything decent in a while.
