DrDawkinstein Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 "Jaws of Life" always makes things sound way more serious than they really are. They are just high-powered scissors that can cut through metal. If the door was crunched and simply couldnt open... Jaws of Life. Hoping all goes well for Tiger. I'm a big fan.

H2o Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 At his age, with multiple leg fractures, and an already bad back I would expect this to be the end of the road for Tiger swinging the clubs competitively. He's going to become with Charlie the way his father was with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 CNN reporting the breaks as compound fractures. Not good. 3 hours ago, Just Jack said: Cell phone or fell asleep is my guess. He was seen “speeding from his hotel moments before the accident.” The original report said no booze (and it was 7:15am) but who knows at this point.

Freddie's Dead Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Pretty clear that El Tigre was speeding like a mofo. Also pretty clear that with a compound leg fracture, he likely won't play in any majors this year. Hope he can make a recovery because golf is a lot more interesting when El Tigre is prowling the links on Sunday. All the best to Eldrick Woods.

I wonder if they confiscate a cell phone after single vehicle accidents like this where no one else was hurt. Hate to speculate, but driving a rental that was given to him without his cell setup and possibly messing with that. Not good in any way. Prayers up to Tiger for the best.

That still does not explain the reported lack of skid marks. When things go bad, you generally hit the brakes.

UConn James Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Compound fracture of a leg bone and a fractured ankle, reportedly. The ankle is the big deal.

Something called a Halligan tool (similar to a crow bar) and an ax were used. "Lt. Michael White later told CBSLA reports of the “jaws of life” being used were inaccurate. " "“Tiger Woods was trapped inside the vehicle, so our firefighters and our firefighter paramedics used a pry bar, called a Halligan tool, and an ax to pry parts of the vehicle away from him,” Osby said."" https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/02/24/tiger-woods-car-crash-hospital-surgery/ Anyways glad he's okay.

Irv Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sadly, I am wondering if he tried to kill himself. The police intimated that he may have mistaken the accelerator for the brake. But he never let off the accelerator and hit with his foot firmly on the gas. This would explain why the police needed his permission to release the facts due to HIPPA.
