‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods (46, USA) was testified that he did not remember the time of the car overturning accident.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva of Los Angeles County, California, said in an interview with CNN on the 26th (Korean time) that “Woods could not remember when the incident was questioned 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, the sheriff’s testimony that Woods did not remember the accident was somewhat unexpected, compared to the fact that Woods was known to have clearly given his name to rescuers at the time of the accident.
At the accident briefing, the local police said, “There is no evidence that Woods has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs,” and “We are treating it as a simple accident without considering the application of the charges.”
American magazine People reported that “Woods doesn’t want his golf life to end this way,” citing sources close to Woods the day before.
