A 47-year-old woman in the other car was also seriously hurt and had to be pulled out through her vehicle's roof. Brennan was hospitalized at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu in serious condition while the woman was taken to North Community Hospital in Waimea with serious leg injuries, the newspaper said.

West Palm Beach, Fla. -- A Florida man whose eye was injured by a stripper's shoe at a nightclub was awarded a $650,000 settlement but his lawyer said he expects more litigation.

Lake "Trey" Lytal said the insurance company for the Cheetah nightclub in West Palm Beach, Fla., has agreed to pay the amount but he expects more litigation before his client, Michael Ireland, receives the payment, The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported Friday.

"When this case was first filed, many people criticized it simply because it occurred at a strip club," Lytal said. "But we feel the $650,000 settlement goes to show that this was a serious case with serious injuries."
