The worst… Lucky to survive”

-According to local media such as the Associated Press and ESPN, Woods was in a car rollover accident while driving downhill driving a sports utility vehicle (SUV) in Los Angeles County, California, USA on the 23rd around 7:12 am (local time). Woods at the steering wheel was the only occupant, and there was no collision with other vehicles. After receiving the report, the police and fire authorities mobilized an ax and chisel to break the windshield and rescue Woods. Woods said that he calmly answered his name, etc. even in the situation where his legs were severely injured and his ankle bones were broken and shattered.
The accident occurred on the road between Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Birds, about 32 kilometers south of downtown Los Angeles. The road in which the accident occurred is a steep downhill curve section of four round trips and the speed limit is 45 miles per hour (about 72 km).
According to the police, the SUV that Woods drove rolled over the median multiple times and struck a tree on the other side of the road and stopped at a slope about 9m from the road. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alix Villanueva said, “We found no signs of being affected by drugs or alcohol.” However, it was assumed that Woods was speeding at the time of the accident. “It seems to be running relatively faster than normal. There was no sign of sudden vehicle braking. This is a place where accidents often occur.”

Last week, the Genesis Invitational of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour was held at the Riviera CC near Los Angeles. Woods, who is also the organizer of this event, has been using the GV80 provided by Hyundai Motor Company before and after the event. Sheriff Villanueva said, “Thanks to the barely damaged interior of the SUV, Woods escaped the worst. “It’s lucky to survive.” At the time of the accident, Woods was wearing a seat belt. The airbag was also properly blown to reduce the impact. Woods, who stayed at the lodge, is known to have speeded so as not to be late for the filming, which was scheduled to take place at a golf course about an hour away by car. After being transferred to the nearby Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Woods went straight to the operating table. After several hours of surgery, Anniesi Mahajan, director of the hospital, said, “I had urgent surgery on the right leg and ankle. The iron core was inserted into the leg and the fractured peach and calf bones were fixed with pins and screws.” However, he did not mention how severe the injury was or when he could recover.
The golf world was in shock. “I just want him to be safe,” said Justin Thomas, a professional golfer close to Woods. “I am so worried about the children (shocked by the accident).” Former President Donald Trump also said, “I wish you a quick recovery. You are a true champion”.
