Sean Kingston Passenger: I Begged Him to Slow Down

But Cassandra Sanchez won't press charges

(Newser) – The passenger on Sean Kingston’s jet ski says the singer was going “really fast” before slamming into a bridge over the weekend, “blasting past” another friend who was also jet skiing. Even so, TMZ reports, she will not press charges. As they approached the bridge, Cassandra Sanchez says she yelled, "We can't fit under there! Are we going to try and go under there? Sean stop!" She believes Kingston tried to turn away and lost control at the last minute. The jet ski lost a handlebar in the impact.

Sanchez blacked out and woke up in the water, with another friend trying to stop Kingston from swallowing any more water. He “was coughing up blood, foam, and pink stuff,” she says, and “he kept repeating the words, ‘I’m hurting. I’m hurting.'” An off-duty Coast Guard member who helped rescue Kingston adds that the singer was “convulsing” as he threw up blood. Kingston is still in the hospital and will be for a few more weeks, but he is “lucid” now, Sanchez adds. Click for more of Sanchez's story.

It's sad how the anonymity of the internet causes people to reveal the twisted, festering illnesses of their souls. I say this due to the number of 'hilarious' votes. I keep trying to stick up for the human race, but it keeps letting me down.
