Yes, American media reports that Tiger Woods suffered a car rollover in Los Angeles.
CNN reported a video of the accident scene where the car was crushed and turned upside down, and said that it was a pretty big accident that had a car-cutting machine mobilized, and that he was undergoing emergency surgery at the hospital due to injury to several legs.
He said that although it is not a fatal injury that is life-threatening, the injury is quite serious.
The vehicle was found on a famous drive course, which rolled more than 9m on the driving road and lay on its side on a slope next to the road, and the front part of the vehicle was completely crumpled by the impact of an accident, Reuters reported.
Local police said Woods was alone in the car at the time of the accident and did not collide with another vehicle.
The Associated Press said that the car debris in the accident was scattered on the hillside next to the road.
According to local media, Tiger Woods attended the PGA Tour Genesis Invitational over the weekend as host and stayed in California for two days to film related content.
Woods, who recently had a fifth surgery after a back injury last year, was in rehabilitation to return.
The time of return became more unclear as the accident caused a leg injury and even had surgery.
So far, I’ve been telling you from Washington.
