By press time, the three had been rushed to a local clinic for first aid.
Eddy Kenzo, in a Facebook post, confirmed the accident, and attributed it to the road being slippery.
In the post, the artiste said that the car overturned and fell into a trench.
“We had a frightening car accident. The road was wet and slippery due to rain and when we reached Maya theirs was a bump in the road next to Stabex Petro station that caused my car to skid in a remarkable fashion. It did a 180-degree spin in the middle of the road, facing the wrong way! We then landed into a trench next to the Petro station.
This happened today morning and all the three people in the car survived.
We thank the good Lord for his protection,” the post reads.
