Published on May 30, 2011 at 1:15 AM

Around 6pm today, Sean Kingston and a female companion were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. Both were on a jet ski at the time of the accident. The only details emerging are that Kingston was driving the vehicle and crashed into a bridge. An investigation is still ongoing.

TMZ is reporting that Kingston is being treated in the trauma ward and is in critical condition. An unnamed rep for the singer issued this statement to TMZ: “Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes.”

The 21-year old (whose real name is Kisean Anderson) is originally from Miami, FL but moved to Kingston, Jamaica when he was 6 years old. Discovered on MySpace, he burst onto the music scene in 2007 with his first hit single “Beautiful Girls.”

Updated: CNN is reporting that Kingston is fine and stable.

Lauren Ceradini, vice president of publicity at Epic Records, said early Monday morning that “Sean is stabilized” and refuted online claims that Kingston had died. Ceradini did not elaborate on Kingston’s condition.

Hip-hop singer Trav, who features Kingston in his latest song, said he visited Kingston at the hospital.

“He is good in stable condition,” Trav told CNN in an e-mail.
