     *Rapper Trina and her boyfriend, NBA star Kenyon Martin, were involved in a car crash in Belize last week that left a 12-year-old boy and his 9-year-old brother injured.

      Trina and Martin escaped harm during the accident, which occurred on mile 8 on the Northern Highway just after the couple arrived at Belize City Municipal Airport Thursday for a peace rally and basketball tournament.

      According to 7 News Belize, the couple was in the backseat of a white Ford Excursion in a police-led motorcade when a green minivan, driven by George Abraham, crashed into the front passenger side. His children, 9-year-old Johnny and 12-year-old Delane, suffered injuries and were assisted by paramedics.

       Trina and Kenyon Martin left in another vehicle supplied by organizers of the charity basketball game that was to be held Friday.

       Trina's publicist Krystle Coleman told AllHipHop.com that the rapper "is currently fine, and 'extremely thankful' that no one was hurt in the small car accident. She is looking forward to the rest of her weekend on vacation and thankful for everyone's safety."

       Abraham, who suffered less severe injuries than his children, said Trina and Martin's driver was responsible for the crash. Other witnesses said the police motorcade was so large, that oncoming traffic was forced to swerve to the sides on a narrow stretch of the road.       

       “Bringing in such a huge figure within the NBA, we thought that it would just add some level of our thoughts and what it meant having them coming into our country and we wanted to show them with humbleness what it is that it means to us as Belizeans and also – everybody’s been expecting them,” organizer Diane Finnegan told Local 7 News.
