FHP said the crash is still under investigation.

You can go to google maps and see his house.

No long driveway, at all ! — neighbors right on top of him. Waterfront gazillion dollar row houses. The only thing blocking the neighbors are trees, lots of trees.

My guess, he put the pedal to the medal and immediately slammed into whatever was in the way.

go here, his house in on the right:

Poor fellow, he missed out on the 42'' Emerson Plasma HDTV for the unbeatable price of $448!

I walked right past a whole stack of those today, pausing briefly before moving on. I saved $448 today by not buying one.

A 6 or 8 inch line would have a max 5000 lbs of force - not even enough to pickup an escalade.

2009 Escalade weighs 7,300 lbs. The hydrant would not be able to lift the entire SUV, you are right here. However each side of the car only handles half of the force - 3,650 lbf. This means that a hydrant could easily flip the car, or redirect it into, say, a tree.

Billy Joel is semi-famous for late night auto accidents; hitting houses, trees, you name it, although he’s been a relatively good drive in the past several years (maybe he hired a full time chauffeur?)

Backgrounder on West Orange Hospital.

Horrible place. Had “doctor” pracicing there for 4 years. He, “Doctor” John Henry VanEden, never graduated from med school, or college, or even high school.

Hosp knew credentials were faked, but he was #1 admitter- profit center.

Not a level 1 or 2 trauma center. Good docs in Orlando area are all at Forida Hospital or ORHS (Orando Regional Healthcare System), not this place.

Ok for stitches, but nothing more.

The Escalade must not have been one of the older, bigger ones.

People of his stature have driveways that you can drive forward out of and can get up some pretty good speed, too... :-)

My driveway is 2.5 miles long. But at 6'8", I have stature. :-)

Stuck accelerator, perhaps?

I just read an article detailing Toyota’s history of engines revving up out of control, with serious accidents resulting, even fatalities.

I wonder if that's what happened to Tiger as he was backing out of the driveway...and yes, I know Toyata does not make the Escalade.

The Woods’ have a two year old and a nine month old. He could have been going out for teething medicine, formular, diapers, baby tylenol or any other number of things daddies have to go out in the middle of the night for, because baby ain’t sleeping.

When I first read this I did not think of him has a golfer but as a husband and father....I pray he will recover to return to the business of being a husband and father....

If I had a billion dollars, I wouldn't be throwing golf clubs around and yelling and screaming on the course. I'd be quite happy and content all the time

Sportsmen are by definition very competitive, even aggressive people. Otherwise they'd never win anything. Nice guys finish last.
