Tiger Woods Seriously Injured in Car Crash


ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods has been seriously injured in a car wreck in Florida, authorities said Friday.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway early Friday in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle.

Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital. His condition was not immediately known, though the news release said his injuries were serious.

The airbags in the car did not deploy, according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel. The newspaper said that airbags typically do not deploy if a vehicle is traveling less than 33 miles per hour.

The highway patrol says the crash is still under investigation, and charges are pending. However, the highway patrol said the crash was not alcohol-related.

The Orange County Fire Rescue received a call about the accident at 2:28 a.m. ET. The Florida Highway Patrol did not report it until 2 p.m. ET.






-This breaking news was just brought to my attention. I truly hope Tiger is ok and the injuries are not as serious as they sound from this article. However having said that, something sounds a little fishy about this story. How do you get seriously injured pulling out of your driveway? Secondly, what are you doing driving at 2:30 am hitting things in your own driveway... and why was this just reported not 12 hours after it first happened? We shall see. Whenever we hear more about this we will let you know right here at the IMPORP.
