“A cause has been determined, the investigation has concluded, Villanueva said at the time. “However, we have reached out to Tiger Woods and his personnel. There s some privacy issues on releasing information on the investigation, and we re going to ask them if they waive the privacy. Then we ll be able to do a full release on all the information regarding the accident.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said the primary causal factor in the February 23 crash was excess speed 84-87mph (135km/h to 140km/h) when he crossed the median and 75mph (120km/h) when he struck the tree and failing to follow the curve of the road.
The speed limit on the road was 45mph (72km/h).
He said no citations were issued and there were no signs of impairment at the crash site, Rolling Hills Estates, just outside Los Angeles.

Following police investigations, Los Angeles County Sheriff confirms that the pro golfer exceeded the maximum speed during the scary car accident in California. Apr 8, 2021
Alex Villanueva has confirmed reports suggesting
Tiger Woods was driving at twice the speed limit when he crashed his sports utility vehicle in February (21).
The golf superstar spent a month in hospital after the horror single-car accident in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, and underwent multiple surgeries on his legs and ankles.
Now, Villanueva has revealed Woods was travelling at up to 87 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into trees.
It was at least Woods third mysterious motor vehicle accident.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva who adamantly denied that Woods received favorable treatment in this investigation said the most recent accident on Feb. 23 was the result of the 45-year-old Woods driving in an unsafe manner given the road conditions.
At a press conference, Villanueva also said there was no evidence that Woods was impaired or intoxicated at the time of the Feb. 23 crash in Rolling Hills Estates.
Investigators did not check to see if Woods was texting before the crash, saying there was no need to do so.
They also said they will not issue a citation for Woods, who is recovering at his home in Florida. To issue a ticket for reckless driving would require evidence that Woods had committed multiple violations before the crash, such as unsafe lane changes, or passing other cars unsafely, according to investigators.
