Jamaica’s 100 metres world record holder and Olympic champion Usain Bolt was involved in a car accident near his home on Sunday but escaped without injury, his publicist said.

Reports said the 25-year-old triple Olympic gold medallist, who will be the focus of world attention when the London Games start next month, had been returning home from a party in the early hours.

“Usain was in a minor accident in the Half Way Tree Area on Sunday morning after 5.00 and sustained no injuries,” Carole Beckford said.


She said the lanky athlete, who was driving a BMW at the time of the accident, was resting at home. Jamaica’s Gleaner newspaper reported that compatriot and sprint rival Asafa Powell was also present, but in another car.
