    Odom suffers concussion in two-car traffic accident
    ESPN.com news services

    HAWTHORNE, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom suffered a slight concussion in a two-car accident Tuesday.

    Odom, who is inactive for the Lakers because of left shoulder surgery in the offseason, was on his way to the team's pregame shootaround prior to Tuesday night's season opener against Houston, according to the Riverside Press-Enterprise.

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

    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.

    Odom later attended the Lakers' 95-93 loss to the Rockets.

    wth? Was the lady okay? How can they report a slight concussion for Odom, and mention the other driver taken out with the jaws of life and not report her condition?
