Trinidadian Soca star Rodney “Benjai” Le Blanc is said to be in great discomfort after being involved in a car accident on April 7, 2012.
Benjai reportedly has numerous injuries to his arms and legs, including cuts on his right arm that may require physical therapy to heal. Benjai says he sustained the injuries to his right arm from breaking the driver’s side window to escape when his car burst into flames following the crash. A pedestrian who was struck during the crash has reportedly sustained a broken leg.
As a result of Benjai’s injuries, his pending court case– where he and co-defendant Machel Montano (along with two others) stand accused of assault in a 2007 incident– has been adjourned until April 25. Some of Benjai’s upcoming shows have also had to be cancelled in order for him to recuperate.
In an unfortunate case of déjà vu, Benjai was previously involved in a car accident in 2010 where a pedestrian was also struck. Thankfully, neither accident resulted in any casualties.
