At the time of the accident in February, Tiger Woods, 46, was found to run at a maximum speed of 140 km on a road at a speed of 72 km/h. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office said on the 7th (local time), “Woods ran at 84 to 87 miles per hour (about 140 km) at the time of the accident, and crashed into the curb on the other side of the road across the median. After that, it hit a tree, bounced up into the air, and stopped in a bushy forest.”

The police said that the main cause of the accident was speeding and not properly manipulating the steering wheel on a curve. According to the black box, Woods is stepping on the accelerator rather than the brakes at the time of the accident. Police believe Woods stepped on the accelerator while trying to brake. Woods said he didn’t remember this.

Police also said that because there was no evidence that Woods was intoxicated with drugs or alcohol, investigators did not apply for a warrant for blood tests, and that Woods also claimed that he did not drink drugs or alcohol. The sheriff’s office did not summon Woods or charge him for’careless driving’. Sheriff Beernuever said, “We can issue speeding tickets, but we didn’t summon them, but this applies to anyone, and Woods wasn’t given preferential treatment.”

Woods suffered a rollover accident while riding the Genesis GV80 at Rolling Hills Estates near Los Angeles on February 23rd. It crossed the median and rolled over 45m until it stopped across the other side of the road. Woods, who injured his leg, had several surgeries.
