Details are just coming in, but early reports are that Tiger Woods was injured in a car crash near his home in Florida, in a single car accident. While some media outlets are reporting the champion golfer to have been seriously hurt in the accident, his agent has told USA TODAY that the golf superstar is fine. The Florida Highway Patrol did report that Woods, hit the hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle. The patrol reported his injuries as serious, and that he was taken to Health Central Hospital, so we’ll have to wait to see what the real extent of his injuries are. The accident occurred at 2:25 a.m. Friday, but supposedly no alcohol was involved. Backing out of your car at that time of night and plowing into objects allegedly hard enough to injure yourself seems a little strange. However The Orlando Sentinel quoted the Florida Highway Patrol as saying he vehicle speed was under 33 mph., but the airbags in Woods’ Cadillac Escalade did not deploy.Update: Tiger suffered facial injuries and has been released from the hospital. Authorities say “charges were pending”.
