(Reuters) -Tiger Woods was traveling more than 40 miles per hour (64 km per hour) above the speed limit when he lost control of his car, causing the crash that severely injured him in February, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said on Wednesday.
Heading down a notoriously dangerous stretch of road in the Rolling Hills Estates community in Los Angeles County, Woods’ car reached speeds of 84 to 87 mph (135-140 kph) when he lost control along a curve that has been the site of 14 other accidents, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a news conference. The speed limit was 45 mph (72 kph).

The virus emerged in one of the world s most closed societies ruled by a ruthless authoritarian regime that has no tolerance for truth or transparency. The recently released World Health Organization (WHO) report on COVID-19 s origins was widely criticized by the U.S. government and 13 of our allies including the head of the WHO itself because the Communist Party of China withheld data and refused to fully cooperate with efforts to learn how the virus emerged.
