Dr. Anishi Mahajan, chief director of the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, said Woods’ right shin and calf bones were shattered and broken, stabilizing the injured area by inserting an iron core into the shin bone.
He also explained that the foot and ankle bone were fixed with screws and pins, and that the swelling of the wound was also relieved.
The Woods Foundation also issued a statement stating that Woods was awake after surgery and was recovering.
Woods was in a car rollover accident in Los Angeles County, California, around 7:15 am local time on the 23rd.
The road where the accident occurred is a steep downhill section of a round-trip four-lane road, and the police estimate that Woods was speeding.
The police said that Woods was unable to stand on his own at the time of the accident, but said, “When asked for a name, Woods said’Tiger’. “He was clearly conscious and calm.”
It also said that there was no evidence of driving a car with a driving disability, saying that Woods did not find any signs of being affected by drugs or smelling alcohol.
The car Woods drove was Hyundai Motor Company’s 2021 SUV’Genesis GV80′, which rolled over the median several times and hit the curb and trees in the opposite lane, and stopped on a slope about 9m from the road.
Airbags were activated at the time of the accident, according to police, the car body was barely damaged, and Woods was wearing a seat belt.
The police said, “Although the front and bumpers of the vehicle were completely destroyed, the interior of the vehicle was almost intact, which served as a cushion for Woods to survive,” said the police. “Otherwise, it would have been a fatal accident.”
Woods recently stayed in Los Angeles as the organizer of the PGA Genesis Invitational, an American professional golf sponsored by Hyundai Motor Company last weekend, and has borrowed the GV80 from Hyundai Motor Company.
The police who were dispatched after receiving a resident report rescued Woods through the windshield of the vehicle using tools such as an ax and chisel, and Woods was transferred to the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, a first-class trauma treatment hospital, for surgery.
CNN cited an expert and reported that Woods could have an impact on his future career with this leg injury.
