After crashing his jet ski nearly a week ago in Miami, Kingston is on a fast road to recovery.Sean Kingston is finally awake and alert in the hospital, even communicating with nods and sign language to family and visitors, TMZ.com reported.
While Kingston remains hospitalized, sources told the gossip site that the "Beautiful Girls" singer's recovery looks promising. The 21-year-old singer still can't speak because of the breathing tube inserted in his mouth and throat, but the update is a considerable improvement over his condition when he was rushed to the trauma unit on Monday night with critical injuries from a jet ski accident.
Doctors at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital are helping the Kingston recover from water in his lungs, a broken jaw and a fractured wrist, according to the Miami Herald.
Cassandra Sanchez, the passenger who was riding with Kingston on his new Sea Doo might be the singer's "beautiful girl," but "lucky girl" may be a more accurate fit. Sanchez escaped the accident relatively unscathed, except for a sore jaw and ribs.
Kingston and Sanchez were riding the jet ski in Miami Beach on Sunday when Kingston, who was driving, crashed into the Palm Island Bridge, after travelling "REALLY fast," according to Sanchez.
Sanchez, who said she thinks Kingston may have lost control after trying to swerve away from the bridge too late, does not plan to press any charges against her longtime friend.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the ongoing investigation.
Celebrities and fans have taken to Twitter to wish Kingston a fast recovery, including good friend Justin Bieber, who posted on Monday, "A lot of you are asking about @seankingston ? he is doing better but out of respect to his family I will wait for them to comment."
Kingston has been inactive on his own account since the accident, with his most recent tweets being sent on Sunday, about partying in Miami.
