Tiger Woods was traveling 83 mph in a 45 mph zone before a car crash that resulted in him suffering severe leg injuries, police said Wednesday. His driving speed was considered the primary factor in the crash.
The Los Angeles County Sherriff s Office released its findings after previously stating it would not reveal details surrounding the crash, citing Woods privacy. Police already determined Woods would not face any criminal charges.
The 15-time major champion was involved in a one-vehicle crash Feb. 23 in Los Angeles and underwent emergency surgery for comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower tibia and fibula. The surgery was considered a success, and Woods is back home in Florida recovering.
When the first witness arrived at the scene of a car accident involving Tiger Woods, the golfer was unconscious and could not answer their questions. By the time police officers arrived, Tiger had regained consciousness but did not remember driving and had no idea how he crashed.
