Tiger said he doesn't remember driving prior to crash

-

Tiger Woods told deputies responding to his single-vehicle crash last week that he didn't know how the accident happened and didn't remember driving, USA Today reported Thursday.

USA Today cited a copy of the search warrant affidavit that was used by the Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department to obtain the black box in the SUV that Woods was driving.

“The deputies asked him how the collision occurred,” the affidavit says. “Driver said he did not know and didn't even remember driving . ... Driver was treated for his injuries at the hospital and … repeated that he didn't know and did not remember driving.”

The black box houses data related to speed and accelerati­on, braking sequence, steering angle changes and other instrument activity.

Woods, 45, underwent surgery to treat injuries to his right leg, including inserting a rod into the tibia. Screws and pins were needed in the leg, and he was treated for muscle and soft-tissue injuries.

Pittsburgh Penguins superstar captain Sidney Crosby was activated from the NHL'S COVID-19 protocol list to play in Thursday's rematch against the visiting Philadelph­ia Flyers.

Crosby missed the Penguins' 5-2 win over the Flyers on Tuesday after being placed in the protocol earlier in the day.

He's tied with Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust for the team lead in goals (seven) this season.

The 2021 IIHF Women's World Championsh­ip, scheduled for early April in Canada, has tentativel­y been reschedule­d to May 6-16, the federation announced Thursday.
