Jamaica’s Usain Bolt unhurt after car crash
Bolt and Powell had just returned to Jamaica after competing at the Diamond League meet in Norway. At that meet, Bolt recovered from a poor start to win the 100 meters in 9.79 seconds, beating Powell by 0.06 seconds.
Bolt remains undefeated this year. The Jamaican star hasn’t lost since failing to defend his title in the 2011 world championships in South Korea after being disqualified in the final for a false start.
It’s not the first time Bolt has been in a worrying car crash in Jamaica.
In 2009, Bolt crashed a BMW into a ditch along a highway. He required minor surgery on his left foot after stepping onto thorns while getting out of the wreckage.
A month after the accident, Bolt told reporters: “After something like that you look at life through and over, and look at what has gone wrong, where you should improve or should be careful.”
Bolt’s coaches could not be reached for comment Sunday. Beckford said she would release further details when they became available.
