– It turns out that Tiger Woods (46, USA), who was the’golf emperor’, did not even remember holding the steering wheel during a car rollover accident.

The Associated Press reported on the 5th (local time) that a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office and the first witnesses in the United States had been submitted to the court.

Previously, in an interview with the local media, the police revealed that Woods did not remember the time of the accident, but the affidavit recorded the situation in more detail, such as that he did not even remember driving. The affidavit was submitted to the court with the police requesting approval of a search warrant for the black box mounted on the Genesis GV80, the accident vehicle, to determine the cause of the car accident.

According to the statement, a man living in Rolling Hills Estates in Los Angeles County, the site of the accident, heard the sound of a car crash on the downhill curve of Los Angeles County on the 23rd of last month and ran to the accident site.

When the man discovered the accident vehicle, Woods was completely unresponsive and unconscious.

When the police arrived, Woods regained consciousness and sat in the driver’s seat with blood on his face and chin, answering the police’s questions.

Woods, who was urgently taken to the hospital, told the police that the police investigation did not know why the accident occurred and that he had no memory of driving.

Dr. Andre Campbell of the Trauma Center at Zuckerberg General Hospital in San Francisco explains that “it is often the case for patients who have a head shock in a car accident to lose consciousness or lose their memory.”

He explained that the phenomenon of accidental memory deletion can last for hours and may not return forever.

– Meanwhile, the police are investigating the cause of the accident by securing a GV80 black box containing driving information at the time of the accident. In a document filed with the court, the police said, “The black box can provide information on the driver’s use of the brakes and accelerators (accelerator pedals).”
