He had to be going quite fast to get seriously injured in a Cadillac Escalade!

He's a tough guy....mentally and physically. If our vaunted medical community can keep him alive, he'll take care of the recovery.

My thoughts with him and his family.

Another site says wreck was at 2:25 in the morning and he hit a fire hydrant and a tree. The air bags did not deploy, so he was traveling under 33 mph.

As a wild guess, he was either extremely sleepy or possibly intoxicated. Single vehicle accidents at that speed at that time of the morning usually have something else besides just a bad day.

FNC just said he was backing out of a driveway, hit a fire hydrant, then hit a neighbor’s tree. Safety bags did not deploy.

turkey does cause drowsiness so that might have been the cause. Just heard the news on Fox News, praying for a speedy recovery

30mph into an immovable object is devastating.

“The air bags did not deploy, so he was traveling under 33 mph.”

Not necessarily. The angle of impact has to be within a certain range for the airbags to deploy.

Tiger Woods in 'serious' condition after wreck

Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident outside his Isleworth home early this morning

Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol just reported.

Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, FHP reported.

Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said. No other information about his condition has been released.

A Health Central hospital employee said at 2:30 p.m. that Woods was not a patient. A hospital operator would not say if Woods had been treated and released.

FHP said the airbags in Woods' Cadillac Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph.

Orange County Fire Rescue received the call for aid at 2:28 a.m. Woods was transported from his Windermere-area neighborhood by the hospital's own ambulance.

FHP did not report the accident until just after 2 p.m. today. The agency said the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending.
