Miami authorities saysinger Sean Kingston has been hospitalized after crashing a personal watercraft into a Miami Beach bridge.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino says Kingston and a female passenger were injured when the watercraft hit the Palm Island Bridge around 6 p.m. Sunday.

Pino says both were hospitalized early Monday at Ryder Trauma Center, but he didn't know their conditions.

The crash is under investigation, but Pino said"nothing at this point would indicate that alcohol played a role."

A representative for his label Epic Records confirmed early Monday that Kingston was in a crash and "was now stabilized." No further information was provided.

The Jamaican-American singer, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, has released three albums.

Kingston rose to fame with his 2007 hit Beautiful Girls and was also featured on songs by other artists, including Justin Bieber's Eenie Meenie.

Hismixtape King Of Kingz, released earlier this year,has guest appearances by Bieber, Akon, Flo-Rida, Soulja Boy, B.O.B and Tory Lanez.

Canadian pop star Bieber sent well wishes via Twitter on Sunday,saying, "got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight. a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well."
