How did this accident happen? I haven’t seen anything on that yet.
Excessive speed, curvy road, possible fog/damp road surface.
Or as they say in Nascar, he got to wreckin’
Not sure, but I have a hunch that it boils down to the fact this was a loaner vehicle driven aggressively by someone unfamiliar with it.
I’ve learned the hard way with rental cars: you can’t drive ‘em like you drive your own car(s). You have to be careful because the dimensions and handling are likely different from what you’re used to.
Probably excessive speed downhill, hit the median, then lost control of the vehicle. Distracted driving perhaps? You look at your phone and take your eyes off the road for even a second or two and bad things can happen.
That’s a steep downhill there on Hawthorne Blvd with several curves and you have to watch your speed carefully. It’s a 45mph zone. Very easy to find yourself going 60 or more.
Systemic racism.
I used to live in Redondo Beach next to Palos Verde where Tiger wrecked. At the time I had a 70 Cutlass that I just had the motor redone in and I had a Porsche Carrera. I used to love to rip them up and down the hills in PV. Twisty steep 2 lane roads intersect that hill. I had my fun but used some common sense and never wrecked like Tiger. I am sure he was just having some fun hot rodding his suv and lost control.
No details yet. Given it was in the morning I’d guess distracted driving (i.e., on the phone/texting) rather than a substance abuse issue or nodding off. But who knows.
