There was a testimony that Tiger Woods (46, USA), who had undergone major surgery in a recent car overturn accident, did not remember the time of the accident.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva of Los Angeles County, California, told CNN on the 26th that “Woods did not remember the time of the accident when asked by investigators at the hospital.” Deputy Director Carlos Gonzalez County Sheriff’s Office said in an interview with NBC that “It is difficult to say that Woods knew how much he was hurt at the time of the accident.”
On the 24th, two days ago, Woods suffered an accident in which his vehicle overturned while driving downhill driving a sports utility vehicle (SUV) in Los Angeles County.
Woods, who was urgently transferred to the hospital and undergoing surgery, suffered severe injuries in both legs and is expected to take months to walk again. It is unclear whether he will be able to become a player.
However, Woods is known to have clearly given his name to rescue workers at the time of the accident. Therefore, this testimony that he cannot remember the accident is somewhat unexpected. If Woods, the driver, does not remember the time of the accident, it will be much more difficult to determine the cause of the accident.
The local police said at the accident briefing, “There is no evidence that Woods has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs,” and said, “We are treating it as a simple accident without considering the application of the charges.”
