The video, shared by Bloomberg on Tuesday afternoon, shows a car resting on its side, after appearing to have rolled over onto the side of a road. What appears to be a piece of the vehicle is lying next to it. The hood is popped open and the car is very badly damaged. The reporter in the video notes that it’s difficult to see if another vehicle was involved in the crash.
The reporter also says that it seems as if the car was moving at high speeds and hit a divider before flipping off the road and rolling downhill. The reporter also notes that Woods is “lucky to be alive from what we’re seeing with this crash.”
The sheriff’s office had tweeted that the golfer was driving northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard at Blackthorne Road, when the car crashed.
Another video shared by CBS News shows a closer shot of the car crash, showing broken windows and more details to the damage the accident caused on the vehicle. It also shows more debris from the crash behind the vehicle.
As previously reported, Woods crashed in Ranchos Palos Verdes in Los Angeles County and was taken to a local hospital for his injuries.
Following the news of the crash, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office tweeted a statement providing more information about the crash, noting that Lomita Station LASD officers responded to the call, where Woods was identified as the driver and only occupant of the vehicle. LASD Lomita Station is investigating the crash.
In videos, the vehicle appears to be resting on the driver’s side, which would’ve left Woods trapped as the only person in the car.
According to CNBC, Woods is in surgery following the accident and suffered leg injuries.
The 45-year-old golfer is tied with the late Sam Snead for most PGA tour wins. Woods won his first PGA tour in 1996 and mostly recently took the title home in 2019 for a total of 82 wins. In March 2020, the golfer was elected to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, but according to Golf Digest, the ceremony will be delayed until 2022, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Woods’ life and career were also the subject of the January two-part documentary Tiger on HBO.
