    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><style type="text/css">
    .home-page-only {display:none;}</style>L.A. Lakers star Lamar Odom was involved in a two car crash in Hawthorne, Calif., yesterday morning which sent one person to the hospital.

    Police sources tell TMZ they are investigating Odom for allegedly running a red light in his Mercedes and T-boning a Geo Prism driven by a 37-year-old woman. Firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to extract the victim from the wreckage. The victim's family tells TMZ that she is in serious but stable condition with a head injury and injuries to her left leg.

    Sources tell us neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor in the accident, adding Odom stayed with the victim and was very concerned about her well being.

    Odom's rep was not immediately available for comment.</div></p>

    Damn it. I hope the lady isn't seriously injured because of this. Odom always has a black cloud over him. "If it ain't one thing, it's a mother f'n other"</p>

    I hope he didn't re-injure his shoulder or tweak anything else.</p>

    Has anything gone right for the Lakers recently? Kobe demands a trade. He then proceeds to injure his wrist. Odom has surgery and doens't completely recover in time to start the season. Now he gets in a car accident? What more could happen? Hopefully nothing happened to him so he can be ready to go here in the next couple of games.</p>

    I can't see how a car crash didn't injure his shoulder if he was wearing a seat bealt.</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><font color="#000000">Los Angeles Lakers</font> forward <font color="#000000">Lamar Odom</font> suffered a slight concussion in a two-car accident Tuesday</p>

    ....</p>

    The paper reported that Odom went to the hospital in an ambulance and was given a CT scan. That showed the slight concussion.</p>

    Odom's Mercedes-Benz was totaled, the paper reported. The woman driving the other car in the accident had to be taken out by the jaws of life.</div></p>

    Well a slight concussion is typical. No serious injuries is great news along with no alcohol or drugs involved.</p>
