Woods suffered serious injuries in the crash when he struck a raised median around 7 a.m. in Rolling Hills Estates, just outside Los Angeles. The Genesis SUV he was driving crossed through two oncoming lanes and uprooted a tree on a downhill stretch that police said is known for wrecks. Woods is in Florida recovering from multiple surgeries.
Villanueva has commented previously about the crash, calling it “purely an accident” and saying there was no evidence of impairment. Woods told deputies he did not know how the crash occurred and didn’t remember driving.
He was unconscious when a witness first approached the mangled SUV. A sheriff’s deputy said the athlete later appeared to be in shock but was conscious and able to answer basic questions.
The stretch of road is known for wrecks and drivers who frequently hit high speeds. Due to the steepness of the roadway, a runaway truck escape lane is available just beyond where Woods crashed. There was no evidence that the golfer tried to brake, and investigators believe Woods may have inadvertently stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal in a panic, said sheriff’s Capt. James Powers, who oversees the sheriff’s station closest to the crash site. Woods was wearing a seat belt at the time, and the vehicle s airbags deployed. He told deputies that he had not taken medication or consumed alcohol before the crash, sheriff’s officials said.

Tiger Woods was driving almost twice the legal speed limit before the borrowed SUV he was in hit a tree just outside Los Angeles, the city s sheriff says.
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.
