Deejay Vybz Kartel met in a serious car accident last night when his Honda Inspire motor car crashed into a concrete utility pole in the Arcadia area in upper St. Andrew last night.

The deejay escaped serious injury but his young protege, Blak Ryno, who is signed to Portmore Empire Records, suffered a left shoulder injury. The car was totalled.

"The Teacha was driving behind a motor vehicle in the Arcadia area when the motor vehicle slowed up suddenly to make a sharp right turn and the Teacha swerved to his left to avoid a collision and the car slammed into a light-pole. The airbag was deployed, so Addi was not hurt. However, Ryno had to do x-rays up by UWI hospital, they didn't leave up the hospital till after 2 this morning," a member of the deejay's entourage told One876Entertainment.com.

Vybz Kartel has been in numerous car accidents over the years. He was hospitalised for a few days when his Toyota Surf SUV was totalled in 2003. A few months after that, another vehicle he was travelling ran off the road and plunged into a precipice while he was heading to a show in rural Jamaica. Blak Ryno, whose hit Mek Di Paper,  was a fixture in dances late last year has a new single called Tell Me How Evil is This? that is  getting mad love in the dances and local radio.
