Not good at all! I sincerely hope she's not harmed.

Edit - there was a scare surrounding Manu Ginobili of the Spurs down in Argentina, too.

(Also not good is that I just picked him for my fantasy baseball team.)

2. This is unfortunately all-too common in the Caribbean & S. America
It's happened to a number of players & their families. Ivan Calderon's name comes to mind as the most recent case.
