Tiger Woods doesn’t remember the crash that hospitalized him, but the SUV does

Like other modern cars and trucks, the Genesis GV80 that Woods was driving when he crashed was equipped with an electronic data recorder...

Vehicles in the Genesis line — Hyundai’s luxury brand — for example, also feature artificial intelligence software that keeps a watchful eye, sending alerts if it detects the driver is distracted or closes his or her eyes while driving.

...Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant this week to retrieve the data contained on the SUV’s computers. Information on how fast Woods was going, whether he ever hit the brakes, and other clues could be critical to reconstructing the the crash that left the 45-year-old Woods’ golfing future in limbo.

Woods told investigators he has no recollection of what happened. In the hours after the crash, as Woods underwent surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center to have pins and rods inserted into his shattered lower right leg, sheriff’s investigators did not seek a warrant needed to run toxicology reports to see if Woods was drunk or under the influence of drugs.

According to a source not authorized to discuss the probe, investigators seeking the warrant cited a lack of skid marks or other signs of braking as the reason the data are needed to determine why the vehicle careened through a Rolling Hills Estates sign and across opposing traffic before hitting a curb, snapping a tree and rolling over on a hillside.

The Driver Privacy Act of 2015 requires the protection of a driver’s data privacy, so a law enforcement agency must obtain a search warrant to access such information.

Don’t think he said. He was clearly being very guarded in the statement.

Since he was busted up, they would likly test his blood. I’d bet money this guy wasn’t tested due to the celebrity factor.

Following the horrific crash, law enforcement officers have dismissed any suggestion that he had alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of the incident.

Police sources told TMZ that there were no drugs or alcohol inside Tiger’s GV80 at the time - and he showed no signs of impairment as he was pulled out of the wreckage.

With no evidence suggesting impairment, police are not able to authorise such a move.

Wow. You truly hate this guy

[dragnet2]

Has nothing to do with hate. Most other people, who were exceeding the speed limit to the point where they lost all control, rolled their vehicle hundreds of feet, and then plowing through signs and then impacting into a bunch of trees, destroying the vehicle, this was after crossing into oncoming traffic lanes, which could have easily killed other innocents on the road that day? And he said he can't recall anything? And this same person was not tested for intoxicants/drugs/medications? lol...

And this is the same individual with a history of similar issues?

C'mon, get real. If that had been average Joe nobody, you can bet the rent they would have tested him.

So If I’m driving by your house at 2 or 3 times the speed limit, and lose all control, roll my vehicle for hundreds of feet towards on-coming traffic, snapping in half trees and signs on the way, destroying the vehicle, and I tell the cops I don’t recall anything, are you good to go with me not being tested for DUI?

You hate this guy

[dragnet2]

And since you seem to enjoy making reckless baseless comments, I heard you’re a mental case and a pedophile.

Time to update this classic meme which some have already done.
