Lamar Odom's Fatal Car Crash Triggers Outrage on Twitter (PHOTOS)
NBA star Lamar Odom's car crash in Queens, NY, that caused the fatal death of a 15-year old pedestrian last week, has triggered an outrage on the Internet with Netizens divided over Odom was responsible for the death of the boy.
Odom and his wife Khloe Kardashian had tweeted their condolences for the family of the boy killed and are upset over the way some netizens have judged their action.
On Monday, Odom was on his way back from a funeral of his cousin and was visiting a barber shop in his old Jamaica neighborhood in Queens when his chauffeur-driven car struck a motorcycle, which in turn smashed into a teen pedestrian who was on his scooter.
The boy died of serious head injuries and his organs were later donated.
Odom and Kardashian are both distraught over the incident and have extended wholehearted support and condolence to the boy's family.
Khloe, Odom's wife, tweeted to express sympathy: My heart/soul goes out 2every1 in pain from any suffering. Pray 4 all of the angels surrounding us constantly. May our spirits stay strong
Above all, love each other deeply, b/c love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality 2 1another without grumbling 1 Peter 4:8-9
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
However, after some netizens expressed their suspicion that Odom could have caused the boy's death, both Odom and Kardashian refused to remain silent.
