That looks like a sedan to me.

The big talk was X5 for safety back in 2009.

Bolt Not Above The Law - Hinds

Deputy commish says Olympic champion could face criminal charges after probe into crash
Deputy Commissioner of Police Glenmore Hinds yesterday said three-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt will be criminally charged if investigations suggest that he is at fault following yesterday's motor vehicle accident in Half-Way Tree, St Andrew.

The track and field star slammed his car into the guard rails in the vicinity of the Half-Way Tree Transport Centre just after 5 a.m. Sunday morning.

"No one is above the law and justice will be served with equity and thorough investigations will be undertaken just the same," Hinds asserted when asked to comment on the incident yesterday.

"We operate a legal regime here in Jamaica. All persons who are found guilty before the courts will go through the same process, and will be charged accordingly. The only exception is diplomats in a state that is accredited. Every person in Jamaica is subject to the law. The matter will be investigated and there will be no escape," he asserted.

According to Bolt's publicist, Carole Beckford, the athlete was involved in a minor accident on his way from a party Sunday morning. She shared, however, that there were no injuries and Bolt is at home resting.

At press time yesterday, the police had not released a report on the crash.

"There was an accident this morning involving Usain Bolt. Persons involved in crashes are supposed to make a report to the police within 24 hours and Mr Bolt has not done so. We are expecting by the latest tomorrow morning there will be official word," Special Corporal Aaron Gabriel of the Constabulary Communication Network told The Gleaner yesterday evening.

In the meantime, Beckford said fellow sprint star Asafa Powell was at the scene of the accident. She said his vehicle was not involved.

Bolt and Powell had just returned to Jamaica after competing at the Diamond League meet in Norway last Thursday.

It is Bolt's second crash in three years. In April 2009, Bolt, the triple Olympic gold medallist, walked away with minor bruises after his BMW M3 overturned on Highway 2000.

What kind of car does Asafa drive? Yu think they were racing??? hmmm...

[Mosiah]

Asafa is into Benzes.

If they weren't flat out racing I am sure they were pushing it. Yes, I have no proof.

This is reckless and cayliss behaviour from Bolt. What if he had killed someone? Would we just brush it off and say it could happen to anyone?!?!? Bout minor traffic accident. Dis doan look minor to me!

[Gamma]

reckless from asafa too, or is because him neva crash him less reckless?

[Mosiah]

Dunnu! Maybe Asafa is a better driver? Or maybe him just playing possum!

[Willi]

Yes, lock up dem razz. Bout Olys, who cares bout dat.

Give di bwoy Gatlin more chance fi di gold!

Unno quick fi condemn eh? Wait for the facts to syurface nuh!

[Willi]

Was Shelly playing Possum?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Gamma]

maybe jeter and felix playing possum now ... chat 'bout!

[Willi]

Jeter maybe, but Felix....nah!
She better leff out di bills.

Mi dun warn unno seh when exams dun, Shelly would stop powdah! She is the female Bolt.

What a hell if she never stumble at the start last year, even after having thigh injuries!

Jeter is more dangerous dan Feelix, but if she keeps follong wid di 200m, she aggo keep getting hurt.

She wid har bright self try step up pon VC inna di 200m straight with 2 strides, like seh VC a chop livvah. Hehehehe. Di gyal pull and nearly drap 2 time! Dem better give har more growing mash fi try recover fast, as now she see seh Shally show har hand and it nuh prettty fi di ress a dem!

[Jangle]

Normally I don't put up wid di almshouse biznez, but lock up him backside yes....and just let him out fe go train. This ting bigger than a 25 year old, irresponsible yute who is just out to have as much fun as possible. The USA presidency is above and beyond just the person in office. The Secret Service naw go romp fe box the president if him start form the fool of himself. Yuh nuh mind sharp, the IAAF and the IOC already send a private message to the JAAA fe box Bolt cross him face and tell them fe hangle the business. A nuff money pon the line. This bigger than Bolt and Bolt bigger than the sport of T & F.
