Tiger Woods Injured In Crash Outside Home (Update: treated and released, alcohol not involved)

WESH - Orlando ^ | Nov 27, 2009

Yeah, but the web site said he was backing out, and to quote John Wayne from True Grit: “Backwards. I always go backwards when I’m backing up!”

[Huskrrrr]

Charges might simply be “reckless driving.”

[Revolting cat!]

Is the Caddie OK?

[Reaganesque]

Best wishes to him and his family!

Fox said the Airbags didn’t deploy. Had to be going less than 33 miles ph.
What in the world happened.
Backing out of your driveway.
Had to be a freak accident.

[bannie]

duh on me. Of course. His “driveway” may be a mile or more long. I was foolishly picturing a driveway the length of a car.

HA!

“Kind of scary to end up in the hospital backing out of your driveway.”

Guess it depends on how much enthusiasm you’re backing up with ;-).

[mdittmar]

Sounds like a domestic dispute,hope all will be well.

[Boiling Pots]

I doubt his caddy was with him at 2:30 am in Orlando, FL.

[Petronski]

So, 2:30 in the morning, liquored up to some extent, he tries driving off somewhere in a huff, backs into the fire hydrant, panics and ends up crunched around the neighbor’s tree?

I thing that GM endorsement deal might get a re-look.

[Star Traveler]

You were saying ...

Prayers for his speedy recovery.

I hate to see anyone injured and I would surely like to see him get better (since it's described as a serious injury).

But, I would like to also have some more details on what happened. I imagine we'll be getting it as soon as the police investigation is finished and if charges are brought (as they indicate that they are, saying "charges are pending").

[IrishCatholic]

Man, doesn’t anyone here watch NCIS?
Who said the injuries were sustained from the car hitting the tree or the hydrant? Maybe he was already injured and then got in the car because the wife shot him or the girlfriend stabbed him or some other prime drama twist?

[Richard Kimball]

How about a magic trick? I’m gonna make this pencil disappear!

[STONEWALLS]

this whole thing makes no sense.
“FHP did not report the accident until just after 2 p.m. today.”
pulling a Teddy Kennedy/Chappaquiddick response?

[jimbo123]

Family guy storms out of his house at 2:30AM on Thanksgiving night and crashes his SUV into a fire hydrant and tree soon after the affair stories start to hit a critical mass?

[Boiling Pots]

“Charges pending” “No alcohol” .... there’s def. something to this story.

[jimbo123]

Domestic disturbance.

[WellyP]

I hope this a “wake-up call”. Tiger has been on the edge for almost two year. I think things started about the time he was renting a luxury home at Beaver Creek in 2007. All I’ll say is that he and his party made some very, VERY poor personal choices while he was there!

I suspect that tiger Woods reputation will remain intact if he is cheating on his wife, but a drunk driving incident could really hurt him. If he is caught smoking a cigarette, he will probably get kicked off the tour.
