Tiger Woods was injured in a Los Angeles-area car crash and needed to be pulled from his vehicle by the Jaws of Life on Tuesday morning.
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs’ office released a statement that Woods was injured in a crash in Ranchos Palos Verdes on Hawthorne Boulevard. Woods, 45, was at Riviera Country Club over the weekend as host of the Genesis Invitational, but was out of the field due to a recent back surgery.
The single-car rollover crash took place at just after 7 a.m. PT, and Woods’ vehicle sustained major damage, according to the report.
After being pulled from the vehicle by the Jaws of Life, Woods was taken to a local hospital.
His agent, Mark Steinberg, sent out the following statement:
Video of the crash on CNN showed Woods’ car badly mangled approximately 20 feet off the road. The entire front end of the car was destroyed. Several pieces of the vehicle had broken off and was to the side.
