BRIDGETOWN, Barbados: West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach escaped serious injury when his BMW flipped over several times on a rain-lashed Bridgetown road, local media reported Sunday.

The 25-year-old suffered a head injury and was taken to hospital, the Barbados Today online newspaper claimed.

But Roach insisted he had not been seriously hurt.

“Sorry To Scare My Friends, Family And Fans But I'm Straight! Thanks For The Love! #BlessUp,” he wrote on Twitter.

Roach has played 23 Tests and 61 one-day internationals but has not featured for the West Indies in nearly a year.
