Golf legend Tiger Woods was involved in a near fatal car accident early Tuesday morning. Woods’ vehicle, a 2021 Genesis GV80 midsize SUV, was headed northbound before appearing to first make contact with the median, then went across the two southbound lanes. It hit a curb, hit trees and rolled over several times, with the vehicle left several hundred feet from the road.
The Los Angeles County sheriff says Tiger Woods was “not drunk” during the rollover that nearly killed him. Saying the single-vehicle crash was “purely an accident.” Right now Tiger is awake and responsive, but suffered numerous leg injuries. Dr. Anish Mahajan of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center said in part that Woods had sustained multiple “open fractures” to his lower right leg and had a rod placed in his tibia and screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during emergency surgery.
Prayers goes out to Tiger and his family.
