(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).
We need a human being to witness it,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Wednesday.
Last Wednesday, Villanueva announced the investigation into the Rancho Palos Verdes crash had been completed, but that details were being withheld due to privacy issues. A cause has been determined, the investigation has concluded, Villanueva said last week. 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.
