Golf superstar Tiger Woods was apparently confused after his car accident in Los Angeles in late February. As the responsible police office in LA County announced on Friday, the 15-time major champion imagined himself to be in the Florida hospital when he was questioned. This emerges from a 22-page report that gave further details of what happened.
Woods was traveling at a significantly increased speed in his self-inflicted car accident. As the police had previously announced, the 45-year-old is said to have driven up to 87 miles per hour (140 km / h) before he got off the road in his SUV and hit a tree. He had sustained severe leg injuries.
As has now become known, Woods did not apply his brakes or change the direction of travel shortly before the accident. Instead, he drove straight into the tree. This was the result of the evaluation of the car’s black box. “If he had hit the brakes or changed the steering direction, he would not have crossed the median nor would there have been a collision,” wrote Sergeant Michael Downing in his report.
Sheriff Carlos Gonzalez concluded from this information that “Tiger Woods acted like someone in shock”. He had low blood pressure and was passed out from the impact.
