CRASH GETTING CLOSER LOOK

-

Detectives are looking at data from the “black box” of Tiger Woods’ SUV to get a clearer picture of what occurred during the Southern California rollover crash that seriously injured the golf star, authoritie­s said Wednesday.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said traffic investigat­ors executed a search warrant Monday to retrieve data from the device from the Genesis SUV that Woods was driving.

The 2021 GV80, made by the Hyundai luxury brand, is likely to have a newer version of event data recorders nicknamed “black boxes” after more sophistica­ted recorders in airplanes. The devices store a treasure trove of data for authoritie­s to review.

Deputies will review data from the black box to “see if they can find out what was the performanc­e of the vehicle, what was happening at the time of impact,” said Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who previously faced criticism for almost immediatel­y calling the crash “purely an accident.”

During a live social media event on Wednesday, the sheriff said the new data could provide more informatio­n on the cause of the accident.
