‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods lost consciousness right after a car overturn accident, and after waking up, it is known that he did not even remember holding the steering wheel.
According to the Associated Press on the 5th (local time), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office in the United States and the first witnesses of the accident submitted a statement to the court. According to the statement, a man residing in Rolling Hills Estates in Los Angeles County, the site of the accident, heard the sound of a car crash and ran to the accident site first. When the man discovered the accident vehicle, Woods was completely unresponsive and unconscious.
When the police arrived, Woods regained consciousness, sitting in the driver’s seat with blood on his face and chin, and answering the police’s questions. But Woods told the police that even at the scene of the accident, even after he was taken to the hospital, he had no idea why the accident occurred and that he had no memory of driving.
Dr. Andre Campbell of the trauma center at the Zuckerberg General Hospital in San Francisco said it was not uncommon for patients who had a head shock in a car accident to lose consciousness or lose their memory. He explained that the situation of losing consciousness in an accident can last for hours, and that memories at the time of the accident may not return forever.
Woods suffered an accident on a curved downhill road in Los Angeles County on the 23rd of last month, and underwent emergency surgery for a severe injury to his leg. The police are investigating the cause of the accident by securing a GV80 black box containing driving information at the time of the accident. The police said in a document filed with the court that the black box “can provide information on the driver’s use of the brake and accelerator (accelerator pedal),” and that a black box investigation is necessary to determine the cause of the accident.
