Olympic Champion Usain Bolt crashes his BMW M3

Usain Bolt, the king of running track and the world’s fastest man, took delivery of 2009 BMW M3 Coupe back in November 2008. The M3 was a gift from its sponsors, Puma, as a reconigtion for the amazing performance at the Beijing Summer Olympics.

Unfortunately for him, he was involved in an car accident back in his own country, Jamaica, but with no serious injuries for any of the car’s occupants. Judging from the photo, the M3 Coupe is pretty much ready to be declared totaled and one cannot stop wonder how no one sustained any severe injuries. Lucky guy or simply a safe sports car?

Regardless, we’re glad Usain and his friends were not injured and we wish him the best.

P.S For those that wonder, the police has not reported any alcohol or drugs in blood.
