L.A. Lakers star Lamar Odom's accident victim is suffering from paralysis of the left leg.

TMZ has obtained these photos of the crash -- just moments after it happened.

Family members of the woman tell TMZ that since the accident, she has not had use of her left leg. They also describe her as being positive and "keeping her chin up" about recovery.

Police are investigating Odom for allegedly running a red light in his Mercedes and T-boning a Geo Prism driven by a 37-year-old woman. Firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to extract the woman from the wreckage. We're told Lamar did stay and comfort her until help arrived.
