Golf by Tamar Lapin, New York Post 9th Apr 2021 9:13 AM An empty, unlabelled pill bottle was found near Tiger Woods wrecked SUV - and the pro-golfer was somewhat combative when first responders tried to treat him at the scene of his high-speed crash, according to a newly-released police report. Tiger Woods was driving at an unsafe speed nearly double the 70km/h speed limit when he crashed in California in February, the completed Los Angeles County s sheriff report announced on Thursday (AEST). Woods s SUV was travelling at up to 140km/h before it flew off the road and flipped several times during the accident in Ranchos Palos Verdes, leaving the 15-time major champion with a shattered right leg.

The Los Angeles Sheriff s Department held a news conference today with updates on star golfer Tiger Woods single-vehicle crash on February 23 and revealed his Genesis GV80 SUV hit a top speed of 87 mph during the incident.

The posted speed limit is 45 mph.

Woods was driving northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard in the city of Rolling Hills Estates in a Genesis GV80 luxury SUV at the time of the crash. This section of road is a steep downhill that sheriff s representatives called out as having an abnormally high number of crashes due to speeding.
