Grim: Lamar Odom, pictured in New York yesterday, is said to be 'devastated' at news of the boy's death
A 15-year-old boy has died of severe head injuries following a collision with a chauffeur-driven SUV carrying basketball star Lamar Odom.
The boy was rushed to hospital and underwent emergency surgery in New York City, but he died the next day.
Odom, who was in the city to attend his cousin's funeral, was left 'devastated' by the tragedy, and witnesses saw him crying at the scene.
He was sitting in the back seat when the accident happened on Thursday, in his old neighbourhood ofJamaica, Queens.
His chauffeur-driven vehicle collided with a motorcyclist, and the bike then slammed into the 15-year-old pedestrian.
Both were taken to Elmshurst Hospital with serious injuries. The boy died on Friday morning, and his family held a funeral service on Sunday, TMZ reports.
His name has not been released.
The motorcyclist had only minor injuries, including 'road rash' and a fractured ankle. He was later released from hospital, a spokesman said.
Initial reports suggested the Los Angeles Lakers star's wife, Khloe Kardashian, was also in the car.
But her publicist, Jill Fritzo, later confirmed Miss Kardashian was not with her husband at the time.
