So sad! The 15 year old boy that was hit by the car driving Lamar Odom (to his uncle’s funeral, ironically) has died from injuries he sustained in the crash. Condolences to all involved. Details after the jump.
Odom was in NY on Thursday to attend a funeral for his cousin — and had hired a car service to drive him around town during his visit. But while Odom was in the car, the vehicle was involved in an accident with a motorcycle … which was propelled into a 15-year-old pedestrian.
The boy’s family tells TMZ… the boy sustained major head injuries in the collision.
The boy was rushed to a nearby hospital … and emergency surgery was performed in an effort to save his life … but the injuries proved to be too severe … and the boy died the following day.
A funeral for the boy took place earlier today.
A source close to Lamar tells TMZ… the NBA star is “devastated” by the tragedy.
