X2 Singer Jumo “Rubber Waist” Primo was injured on Norton Street in an early morning accident on Sunday. The accident reportedly occurred about 05:30h.
The soca sensation performed at Palm Court at Selector Carl’s Birth Night Party and was reportedly heading home on his motorcycle when the accident occurred.
He sustained a wound to his left foot and other injuries to the knees.
Primo was treated at a private medical institution and sent away.
Jumo said that while riding along Norton Street, he saw the motor car “dancing” on the road, coming in his direction.
He said from the way the car was being driven, he knew the driver had to be drunk and could not control the vehicle.
Primo said he slowed down and continue to watch the car coming in the opposite direction in his lane. To avoid a head-on collision, Primo said he swerved out of the lane, resulting in the car making contact with the left side of his CBR motorcycle.
Upon impact, the former Carib Soca Monarch fell on to the roadway and slid some distance before coming to a halt. It was during this time, he sustained the injuries.
The car, on the other hand, crashed into a nearby trench. There were at least three passengers in the car when the accident occurred.
Primo was rushed to the hospital to seek medical attention, while the driver of the car reportedly fled the scene. Primo said he was thankful to be alive, noting the situation could have been worse.
The Police have launched an investigation into the accident.
