Houston Rockets guard Courtney Lee escaped seriously injury on Saturday night when the fourth-year NBA player was involved in a car accident.
Lee was unharmed in the incident. As he explained Sunday in a text message to the Houston Chronicle, “The other driver ran a red light doing like 100 mph.” Lee also sent a Twitter message to his followers about the accident, thanking Cadillac’s airbags.

Lee has played four seasons in the NBA, two with the Rockets, as he looks to secure a foothold in the Association. He's performed admirably as a starter in the past couple of games for the Rockets as he fills in for an injured Kevin Martin.
