Williams reportedly sustained a broken clavicle and remains hospitalised and under observation. The other occupants of the Audi, including a relative and a colleague, also survived the crash. The condition of the JUTA bus driver and the three injured passengers—all of whom were transported to Cornwall Regional Hospital—has not yet been confirmed, leaving many anxious for further updates.
In an official statement, Winford thanked the public for the overwhelming support and addressed rumours about the severity of the crash. “While some of the images circulating may appear frightening or even gruesome, thankfully, the actual injuries sustained by those of us in the vehicle were not life-threatening. By God’s grace, the situation is not as severe as some posts have suggested,” he said.
His son and fellow broadcaster Jason Williams, visibly shaken, shared his thoughts in a separate statement to Prism Marketing Consultants, saying, “Looking at the scene of the accident, the outcome could be so much more grim. I’m thankful that my Dad, cousin, and co-worker are all alive and that Winford is expected to make a full recovery… Keep Winford and the team in your prayers.”
As the entertainment community rallies around one of its most iconic figures, the incident has cast a moment of pause and reflection over what had been an otherwise successful Reggae Sumfest weekend. Fans and colleagues alike continue to send well wishes, hoping for a speedy recovery and positive news for all involved.
