TIGER WOODS IN HORROR CAR CRASH

-

Tiger Woods faces a long road to recovery after suffering severe injuries to both his legs in a horror car crash near the hilly Palos Verdes Peninsula in LA last week. The terrible accident saw him cut from the wreckage with an axe and a prying tool before he was immediatel­y transporte­d to Harbor-ucla Medical Center, where he underwent surgery.

The golfing legend’s car travelled “several hundred feet” across a highway divider before hitting a tree, rolling several times and coming to a stop on its side. Shock pictures from the crash site reveal the vehicle was severely damaged. Mystery still surrounds the circumstan­ces behind the accident, and while there is no evidence to suggest he was impaired or intoxicate­d,

TMZ reported Tiger was seen leaving an LA hotel in an “agitated” state shortly before the accident occurred.

According to medical experts, the 45-year-old, who suffered “comminuted open fractures”, faces a long recovery.
