Tiger Woods Car Accident: Injury Update, Domestic Issue?

Tiger's home

by the Left Coast Rebel

Pictured above is Tiger Woods home, (middle), Wesley Snipe's residence is at the left with the red-clay roof. This just hitting the internet, Tiger Woods apparently crashed his car leaving his home early this morning. The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Tiger Woods' wife used a golf club to smash out the back window of his Cadillac Escalade and get her injured husband out of the SUV after he smashed it into a fire hydrant and into a tree early Friday morning outside his Isleworth mansion, Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor told The Associated Press.

Elin Nordegren was in the couple's home about 2:30 Friday morning when she heard the accident and came outside.

Saylor said Woods had cuts on his lips and blood in his mouth, AP is reporting. Saylor said officers gave Woods first aid until medical personnel arrived about 10 minutes later. A call report compiled by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and obtained by the Orlando Sentinel indicates Woods was unconscious but breathing when officers arrived on the scene. Woods was unconscious for about six minutes.
Bruhn said Woods had facial cuts in a minor accident. Woods was treated at Health Central early this morning and released.

The first thing that I thought when hearing this story pertained to alcholol. Was he under the influence? It sure seems highly possible, especially seeing that 'charges are pending' with the case. Being that he was alone in his car and was the only car involved it sure seems likely to me that alcohol was a factor. At this point that is pure speculation however:

FHP said alcohol is not considered a factor in the accident, and it is unknown
whether he was wearing a seat belt.
The crash is under investigation, and charges are pending.

The internet is all a-twitter too on the possibility that Tiger Woods has been cheating on his wife, these rumors have been floating around for a while. Multiple law enforcement officials have also confirmed to TMZ that Tiger Wood's crash came directly after an argument with his wife Elin Nordegren. The grass is always greener......

Anyway this story is a little different for the Left Coast Rebel, it's a slow news day and a relaxing day for me personally. I just thought that I would report this as I think that Tiger Woods is a good role model for young people, (and blacks), and someone that has perserved with an amazing talent. A true class-act guy that shines in his sport. Kind of like Michael Jordan was too for basketball and sports in general.

I'll never forget in the 1990s when Tiger Wood's star was just starting to shine. His brilliance and talent caught the eye of a certain Arkansasian --- then President Bill Clinton. Clinton invited Woods to the White House for a photo-op or some such thing.

Tiger Wood's reply to Clinton?

Thanks but no thanks, you didn't care about me when I was a nobody so why should you now.

My kind of guy, hopefully he recovers soon and there wasn't mischief involved.

I hope that this has nothing to do with marital issues. I have always seen Tiger Woods as good role model, also. Hopefully, he will have a speedy recovery.

If he was cheating, then I guess he isn't such a good role model. I always liked Tiger Woods too, in the same way I like Derek Jeter: Hard working, dedicated, one of the best at what he does and keeps out of trouble. That is a good role model. Unfortunately or fortunately, these people are human too. Putting anyone on a pedestal is a recipe for disappointment, unless of course you are a democrat.

@ Teresa - Me too.

@ RG - Indeed he wouldn't be a good role model if he is a cheater. Of course, pehaps she is doing the cheating?

The Right Guy said...

I thought of that too. I guess we'll have to wait until the soap opera unfolds.

chuck said...

I don't feel sorry for Tiger Woods, he is just another over-paid sportsman. Ok, so the kid can hit a golf ball like no-one else, but does that make him a saint? I think some people are being too soft on Tiger, if he has cheated on his wife and betrayed his family then he deserves a bit of bad publicity. It seems that most of the sports blogs listed online at the sports index Dozensports.com are being too nice. Why can't we say bad stuff about Tiger?

Car accidents can be very traumatic, even if your injury is not serious. Everyone has heard of an accident claim, but few people know how to deal with the traumatizing experience when it comes. Life quickly becomes confusing and frustrating as you deal with physical pain and the bureaucratic red tape.

You need to be comfortable with your accident solicitor and be able to speak freely and comfortably with them. With a comfortable, professional relationship established, a successful accident claim settlement will be within your reach. Visit Car accidents for more information.
