Planet's fastest man honoured by Jamaican government

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Jamaica is renaming a highway after Usain Bolt and giving the world's fastest man its highest civic honour.

The link between St. Catherine and Clarendon parishes will soon be renamed Usain Bolt Highway, Prime Minister Bruce Golding said yesterday.

It's the same highway where the Jamaican sprinter injured his foot in a car crash this year.

Golding said the government will also bestow Bolt, 23, with the Order of Jamaica at October's annual heritage celebration.
