Subject: Tiger Woods in surgery after car crash
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/23/21 at 2:56 pm
Tiger Woods is in surgery after suffering "multiple leg injuries" in a car crash in Los Angeles, California.
The LA County Sheriff's Department said that it "responded to a single-vehicle rollover" accident in which the "vehicle sustained major damage".
The 15-time golf major champion, 45, had to be "extricated from the wreck" by firefighters and paramedics.
Woods' agent Mark Steinberg said: "He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support."
Steinberg confirmed the detail about the American having sustained "multiple leg injuries".
Woods was at the Riviera Country Club in LA at the weekend as host of the Genesis Invitational.

Will likely come out that he was doped up.

Damn, I also heard that the road he was on was notoriously dangerous since it was on a steep hill and had a high count of accidents. It was a good thing that he was wearing his seat belt though. I hope he recovers.

I was going to start making enquiries on that was it a dangerous stretch of road, and do any members here living in California know this stretch of road?

Yeah, I hope so too. I may have been on that particular road on at least one occasion, possibly that portion of it...but we didn't go too fast or anything. Gotta watch your speed when you travel on such roads.

Tight bends on that road?

I believe so. That, and the fact that it's on a hill.

It's crazy to think about how he was hanging out with David Spade yesterday and I Saw Spade's post come up in my feed. Sadly though it doesn't seem to be his first rodeo when it comes down to car accidents. Hopefully his injuries aren't career ending.

At the moment, no.

^ Glad he's doing okay. I even saw news updates on TV this morning, both locally and nationally.

Tragic. I'm glad they were able to help him and hopefully he recovers fully.
Given the times I've driven around in So. Ca. on visits, I've experienced some dicey roadways on some of those hills. :-\\

I’m in the trucking business. This is what we call “driving too fast for conditions”.

I’m not in trucking but it’s the same here. Doesn’t matter if you’re driving in 50 mph wind gusts on a sheet of ice. Which I have done by the way. Here there are no excuses.
I was watching a show awhile back about building a bridge deck in California. Workers spent a ton of time grinding down the joints that were the size of a pencil, because they said it would cause drivers to lose control. Geez they would never survive here with our broken up roads, even in good weather. If driving over a pencil sized joint was all I had to worry about, driving would be a dream.

I cannot image ice on the road in California.
Subject: Tiger Woods car crash: Golfing champion will not face criminal charges
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/25/21 at 3:46 am
Tiger Woods will not face any criminal charges following the single-car crash he was involved in on Tuesday that left him with serious injuries. The US golfing champion was driving alone on a Los Angeles downhill stretch of road known for crashes. His SUV hit the central reservation, crossed into the opposite lane, rolled over several times and then plunged off the road and down an embankment. He is recovering after surgery to his fractured leg and shattered ankle. "A reckless driving charge has a lot of elements into it, this is purely an accident," Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told reporters. There no evidence Woods was impaired by drugs or alcohol, he added. "He was not drunk," he said on Wednesday. "We can throw that one out." He added the most Woods could face would be a low-level offence known as an infraction if investigators concluded that he was speeding or not paying attention, the AFP news agency reports.

Could he had been distracted by looking on or being on a mobile phone?

...especially on a dangerous stretch of road.
Anytime I have to drive on a road in the hills (which is not very often), I always drive very carefully, usually slowly.

I don’t imagine anybody was chasing him with a golf club this time. :-X

The details of what caused Tiger Woods' car crash will only be released if the 15-time major winner gives permission for police to share their findings.
A cause has been determined and the investigation is concluded, said Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.

Definitely excessive speed.
