Tiger Woods Seriously Injured In Car Crash

[Tooting Gull]

These stories are a nightmare on rolling news. No one has a clue what has happened, they come out with one thing ('he's seriously injured') then totally contradict it minutes later. It's a bit of a farce.

Earlier the Sky presenter, waffling like a good 'un with the helicopter pictures, said: "And there's a tree, which may or may not have been the one that Tiger Woods is reported to have hit, we're not sure at the moment." I mean, FFS, what has that sentence added to anyone's life?

I think I'll just switch over and read all about it tomorrow.

I assume the fire department will be spreading sand around his vehicle to soak up the fuel. Not often his drive ends up in the sand?

"Alcohol not related", and air bags didn't deploy so only going <33mph.

Odd to hit a fire hydrant and a tree outside your own home. They presumably have been there before.

Guess he couldent see the WOODS house for the TREES then

"Released in good condition."

Okay, let the purely mindless speculation begin.

I reckon he'd had a row with his wife and had stormed out in a huff. Tears blurred his vision.

Either that or he had to swerve to avoid an alligator.

I think it was a RACIALIST attack by a tree

He's currently in critical condition on life support in ICU. Oh wait, he's now at home having a beer. Turns out the scratch on his arm was less serious than first expected.

Hope he recovers fully and goes back to winning big time.

good post

I thin this belongs to the "small earthquake, not many hurt" news category.

Will they be charging said tree?

Turns out his wife was in the car with him, so she was probably nagging at the time, so I blame her.

Apparently she used a golf club to get him out of the wreck. Sounds rather painful to me.

Lucky he was a golfer. Imagine how long it would take the spouse of someone like Kasparov to break out of the back window.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

hope she didnt use his best club

 

[Beach Hut]

Clearly he was driving without due care and attention

i find it odd, the earlier report about the air bag not depolying (im going by your NSC post, assume its good info), the collision in your own driveway (so hardly likly to be at much speed) now "using a golf club to get him out". i have no experience of collision rescue, but to smash the rear window to extract someone from the front seat seems a little... odd.

i reckon, follow a row, he drove off and she THREW the golf club or otherwise smashed the window which CAUSED Tiger to crash.
