One media reported that Tiger Woods, who had a car accident last month, did not apply the brakes at the moment of the accident and only stepped on the accelerator pedal (accelerator) until the end.
Currently, the LA County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the exact cause of the accident based on the data recorder and black box of the Genesis GV80 SUV accident car that Woods drove.
On the 21st, TMZ, a Hollywood-centered entertainment media, said, “(The Sheriff’s Office) found some problematic evidence in Woods’ accident investigation while examining a lot of evidence centering on vehicle, accident site, and black box data.” “There is no trace of Woods stepping on the brakes at the time of the accident,” he said.
The data recording device mentioned in the article seems to refer to EDR (Event Data Recorder). EDR is a device that captures the condition of the vehicle for 4 seconds before and after an accident.
The media cited sources involved in the investigation, adding, “The evidence indicates that Woods had been driving’normally’ until he reached the crash site, but was only stepping on the accelerator at the time he lost control.”
One sheriff, who first arrived at the scene immediately after the accident, said about Woods’ condition at the time, “There is no evidence that there is a disability in driving and there is no sign of alcohol.” As a result, it revealed a flaw in the initial accident investigation, such as not conducting basic alcohol and drug investigations.
However, it is known that Woods, who wakes up from a later operation, does not even remember whether he has been driving.
Woods, who is called the’Golf Emperor’, suffered a car accident on the 23rd of last month at 7:12 am while riding a GV80 SUV in California. He suffered a major injury due to a complex fracture of his leg in an abalone accident, but is currently recovering at home after the operation.
