CMU reports:

Veteran dancehall artist Beenie Man was involved in a near-fatal car accident in Jamaica yesterday when his car overturned as he negotiated a road under construction. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and had emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding and damage to his ribs and lungs. He will remain in the hospital under observation for at least three weeks. A spokesman for Beenie said that while the singer is expected to recover it is not yet clear how long it will be before he is back on his feet, or what affect the accident could have on the future of his recording career.
