The crash is under investigation and charges are pending, though it was not clear who could face charges. The accident did not appear to have been alcohol-related, the statement said.

nuke'em ttg Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Golf great Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident in Florida early Friday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Woods, 33, is in the hospital in very serious condition after a single-car crash at 2:25 a.m. in which he hit a fire hydrant and then a tree, according to the FHP. The crash is under investigation and charges are pending, but the crash was not alcohol-related, the highway patrol said in its accident report. It wasn't known if he was wearing a seatbelt. Woods pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community when he struck the hydrant. He then plowed into the tree on his neighbor's property. He was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla. Woods was apparently traveling under 33 mph because the Cadillac Escalade's airbags didn't inflate, the FHP said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxfactor Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 All I saw was that he hit a fire hydrant backing out of his driveway then slammed into a tree when he put in in drive. This happened around 2:45AM but supposedly no alcohol involved, but not enough info yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 That's bizarre; do you get seriously hurt backing out of your driveway? Granted his driveway is probably long, but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Just heard that he is already released from the hospital. No link. +1 Comcast now reporting the same, though he was released with several face lacerations. Nothing broken. Be very interesting to hear this story.

BeeR Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) I didn't know face lacertaions and being released the same day were considered a "serious" injury. I guess when I think of "serious" I think of someone in "serious" condition at a hospital. Now watch him come back to win some tourney and people will wet their pants about how amazing it is that he was in an accident but still played so well Edited November 27, 2009 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I have to think it probably takes him a lot longer to pull out of his driveway than any of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isleseeya Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 something is not adding up in this story last update said his wife used a golf club to bust back window to get him out of the car ( no joke ) what kind of accident requires this when you consider it was initially stated that he hit a fire hydrant backing out ???? then a tree ?? i can not even picture how this all adds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
