Badgyal Ce'Cile, who celebrated her birthday last Wednesday, almost never
got to see another one following an incident in St Ann last Friday night in
which her BMW motor car was forced off the road by an errant trailer driver.
The singer's luxury car was damaged when it broke through a stone wall as
she tried to avoid being crushed by the trailer. The front end was damaged
leaving the car 'wobbling'. The left fog light was broken, the tyres were damaged
and there was also damage to the fender. However, the airbags did not deploy
and the grateful singer isn't worried much about the damage.
Ce'Cile explains that on Friday, she was in a hurry to get to Montego Bay,
but got an early warning that she needed to slow down. "I got a speeding
ticket at Faith's Pen and from there I decided to drive moderately," she said.
Keen on driving safely, she took a detour through Chalky Hill and when she
got to an area known as Hermitage about 8:38 p.m, she said she saw a car
coming in the opposite direction. She also noticed, 'a long flat-bed trailer'
overtaking the car and bearing down on her. The trailer's lights were not on.
"I thought I was gonna die," she said, while relating the incident to THE STAR
yesterday. "I could not believe I was still in one piece."
