*A stretch of road in Jamaica where track star Usain Bolt crashed his car a few months ago will be renamed in his honor, according to an announcement made Tuesday by Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding.

In April, the triple Olympic gold medalist lost control of his car and careened into a ditch off of Highway 2000, which connects the capital of Kingston in the east with Montego Bay in the far west of the country.

He walked away with minor scratches, but two passengers were taken to a hospital, where they were treated and released. Five months later, the street is on deck to be renamed Usain Bolt Highway.

Only three Jamaican prime ministers - Sir Alexander Bustamante, Norman Manley, Michael Manley - have had highways named after them. Olympians Herb McKenley and Arthur Wint have also had roads named after them.

Additionally, Bolt will be appointed an Ambassador-at-Large and will be accorded full diplomatic status.

In Parliament Tuesday, Prime Minister Golding said Bolt's "endearing personality, charisma and passion for his country make him a superb ambassador of Jamaica."

Golding also announced that the country's fourth highest honor, the Order of Jamaica, will be conferred on the 23-year-old sprinter.
