Yikes. Paints quite a picture.
Like anyone in a life-changing accident, the memories and the re-think of what actions led to the accident, will haunt Tiger for the rest of his life! But, having seen the pictures of the vehicle, without modern safety design and equipment, it would have been his funeral that we’d be talking about!
My 18 year old niece was killed in a car accident. She was completely sober but the guy who crossed the double yellow line was completely drunk.At least partially due to the fact that he was "well known to the police" he did 5 years. My niece deserved sympathy. I wonder if Tiger does.
Was in a motorcycle accident, low speed, moron turned left in front of me. Fracture of my left tibial plateau. Took a year to get right with months of physical rehab. Paid well, though. At first sight, thought the guy was a transient tomato picker, but he was a local with good insurance. Phew...
Very sad accident and even more so given it most likely could have been avoided. I believe the author had more of a healing process than Tiger will have however it is likely the end of his competitive golf career.
My brother-in-law had his leg amputated and a friend had his below the knee. Both have special attachments on the floorboard that allows them to drive with the remaining leg.......
Driving a new car ( one you are not used to) is like riding a new horse. You could take a ride you did not expect.
After reading the article, it sounds as if the author could have saved himself some pain and suffering by having the hand amputated.
It’s a good thing he was close to Harbor UCLA. Had he been in a small town he likely would have had to be air lifted to a trauma center potentially hours away.
Long road ahead for him.
Update article:
Journey and prognosis
Unknown until or if further information is released or kept confidential.
ORIF rod/nailing we don’t even know this vs external fixation. And also have not heard any release of the Grade Type.
Would be interested in knowing the Grade Type.
