US police secured a black box in the car to determine the cause of the car overturning accident in Tiger Woods, the’Golf Emperor’.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office in the United States is looking at the data on the black box mounted on the Genesis CV80, the accident vehicle, to determine driving information and driving records at the time of the accident, the Associated Press reported.
Woods suffered a car rollover accident on the 23rd of last month in a curved section of a downhill road in Los Angeles County, and suffered a serious injury to his leg and underwent emergency surgery.
Just before the accident, Woods visited LA as the organizer of the Genesis Invitational, an American professional golf sponsored by Hyundai Motor Company, and borrowed the GV80 from Hyundai Motor Company during his stay in LA.
In the initial investigation, the police said they would exclude the criminal prosecution policy because there was no evidence that Woods was drinking or taking drugs at the time of the accident. .
Deputy Sheriff Slogle said, “If there was a violent driving situation due to the use of mobile phones, etc., we have to reconstruct the situation at the time of the accident.”
Recently, some foreign media, such as USA Today and Fox News, reported that Woods could have fallen asleep at the time of the accident, based on opinions of vehicle forensics experts.
It is hypothesized that the speed could not be reduced in time due to drowsy driving in the downhill curve section, and eventually suffered a rollover accident that rolled over the median section.
In the United States, it is not mandatory to install a car black box, but if a black box is installed, it is stipulated that information such as the speed before collision, whether the accelerator pedal and brake are activated, whether the seat belt is installed and whether the airbag is activated must be recorded.
Moreover, the GV80 driven by Woods is a Hyundai luxury brand Genesis car, so experts predicted that more detailed information would be recorded in the black box.
The Associated Press said, “Hyundai luxury brand GV80 will be equipped with a new version of the black box. This black box has valuable treasure data for the authorities to investigate.”
