| Singer : Sean Kingston |
Sean Kingston's friend has spoken out about the serious water sports accident that the two were involved in this past weekend.
Cassandra Sanchez met up with friend Kingston on Saturday evening in Miami with two other friends to ride jet skis. She recalled the events preceding the accident which led to Kingston being admitted to hospital.
"Both jet skis pulled out of the dock at the same time and we were going so fast we just blasted past them," she explained to TMZ. "When we turned a corner and crashed, they were so far behind us they didn't even see us crash."
Sanchez recalled that as the two approached the bridge where the accident occurred she had screamed out to warn Kingston that they wouldn't be able to fit underneath.
"[I screamed,] 'We can't fit under there! Are we going to try and go under there? Sean Stop!'" she explained.
Sanchez claimed that the two were riding so fast that Sean lost control and crashed as he tried to turn away from the bridge.
She said that she remembers waking up in the water and seeing Kingston "coughing up blood, foam and pink stuff", before they were both helped to safety.
Sanchez suffered minor bruises in the accident but is fine overall, and said that her concern right now is for Kingston, who is said to be in a stable condition.

Sean Kingston has been stabilised following a serious water sports accident yesterday.
Kingston was rushed to Jackson Memorial hospital late on Sunday in Miami after the jet ski he was riding with a female friend collided with a bridge.
The singer has now been moved from the hospital's trauma unit to intensive care, where he is said to be in a stable condition.
"Sean Kingston is now stabilized and has moved from the trauma unit to ICU," the singer's publicist said. "Sean's family thanks everyone for their prayers and support during this time."
Jorge Pino, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, the lead investigative agency of the accident, explained what happened during Kingston's accident.
He told People: "Sean was heading west from the MacArthur Causeway and Miami Beach Islands when his personal watercraft collided with the bridge, and he and his female passenger ended up in the water.
"A good Samaritan tended to the two of them until Miami Beach Fire Rescue arrived and saw there were injuries."
The singer first rose to fame back in 2007 with the song 'Beautiful Girls' and has since gone on to have a successful music career, recently collaborating with Canadian popstar Justin Bieber.
"My love & prayers are with Sean Kingston & his family," rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted earlier today.
"Sean we are praying for you baby," Rihanna also tweeted, in support of the singer.
Government officials today ruled out alcohol as a possible factor in the accident.

Sean Kingston's jet ski crash in Miami was not caused by excessive alcohol intake, Florida government officials have claimed.
The 'Beautiful Girls' singer - real name Kisean Anderson - is currently in stable condition following an incident on Sunday when a jet ski that he and a female friend were riding on collided with a bridge.
Suggestions that alcohol could have played a role in the accident have now been officially denied, according to an official Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission report obtained by TMZ.
The report details the events leading up to the crash: "Anderson was operating a PWC (personal watercraft) with a female passenger westbound along McArthur Cswy towards the Palm Ave bridge. Anderson struck the bridge and was transported to Ryder Trauma Centre in critical condition"
Kingston's 23-year-old female companion has been listed as "uninjured" in the Commission's official explanation.
Tennis star Serena Williams visited the popstar in his hospital room on Monday and later wrote about the emotional impact of Kingston's accident on her official Twitter page: "I am thankful that I have today. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I'm gonna make every day the best I can. #loveuSeankingston."
The 21-year-old singer's 'Eenie Meenie' collaborator Justin Bieber also tweeted to ask fans to keep his close friend in their thoughts, writing: "Got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight. a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well (sic)."
