A few years ago a woman driving a Mercedes SUV turned a corner near my house going about 35 mph. It was dark and she was old and missed the street by a few feet, jumping the curb and slamming into — and OVER the fire hydrant.
Water spewed out with huge force, blocking part of street and sidewalk and threatening roof of home as torrent of water was so powerful. The car settled ON TOP of the hydrant which is what saved the roof of the house from cave-in.
The woman, however, was PERFECTLY FINE — and was quickly removed from the vehicle without a scratch. She WAS charged with unsafe driving and was billed by the city for all the water and fix of the hydrant. It was a mess.
Now tell me how Tiger Woods could’ve been in and out of consciousness after that huge heavy vehicle hit a hydrant and then a tree. Could not have been going very fast when it made contact with tree after the hydrant part of this.
It is all very suspicious indeed. I wish that next door neighbor had been home and heard something as homes are very close together there. Maybe they did, and we just don’t know about it yet. OTOH, if it’s another sports star or similar, they would probably go along with cover up. The whole thing sounds odd; glad it was not in L.A. this time.
He hit the tree pretty hard and the truck stopped against the tree. The pictures on the web were in the dark and the truck is black but it looks like it crumpled back to the front wheel base.
Oh the pictures also show the fire hydrant is gone now. not sure if the fire department came out and removed it or if he sheared it right off.
