The roadway along which the world's fastest man Usain Bolt crashed his car a few months ago will be renamed in his honor.

Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding said Wednesday that Highway 2000 would be called the Usain Bolt Highway.

The road connects the capital of Kingston in the east with Montego Bay in the far west of the country.

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