911 Call Released for Sean Kingston Jet Ski Accident

Miami Beach resident describes seeing singer in the water after he and a passenger "smashed themselves" into bridge

He wanted somebody to call 911, and he got it.

Miami Beach police have released an audio recording of the emergency call that alerted authorities to a May jet ski accident involving singer Sean Kingston.

"Do you see any bleeding, any injuries you that you can see?" asked a 911 operator.

"Yes, yes," replied an island resident who said she could see the scene from her house. "There's people injured. There's a bridge and they didn't the bridge and they smashed themselves into the bridge."

In May, Kingston was piloting the jet ski with friend Cassandra Sanchez when they crashed into the bridge from the MacArthur Causeway to Palm Island.

"We have the security from our island going to them," the woman reported as she urged the operator to send water rescue as fast as possible. "He's walking to them and they are in the water and there's a boat coming now."

The "Beautiful Girls" singer, 21, and Sanchez were pulled from the water by a helpful  boater. Kingston was rushed to Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition before improving steadily until his release June 21.

He is reported to have suffered injuries including a broken jaw, fractured wrist and water in his lungs in the accident, according to TMZ, and was confined to Jackson Memorial Hospital's intensive care unit for more than three weeks.

Kingston, a Miami native, was cited for the crash and fined $180.
