It happened close to home and he hit a Fire Hydrant and a tree and is in serious condition at about 2 AM this morning...

They just said that he was treated and released, even after being hurt seriously... Seems like the reporting is not very good... He had just left his driveway prior to the accident...

No matter what they charge him with, sinc he was a little more then 100 ft from his house... In order to hit a Fire Hydrant or a tree, you must first leave the road...LOL

Reckless driving. Destruction of public property. Since it was close to his house, it must've been a residential street. He would have had to be driving pretty fast to have that bad of a wreck with both a hydrant and tree on the neighbor's lawn without any ice involved (since it was FL, I doubt he hit a patch of ice to lose control).

They did make that announcement...

Oops!


Tiger Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident. They were inflicted by his wife, Elin Nordegren -- according to a conversation Woods had Friday after the accident.Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol -- that should happen this afternoon. But we're told Tiger had a conversation Friday -- with a non-law enforcement type -- detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.

We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

We're also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene.

IMO, this is a very strange statement ~ apparently, Tiger also cancelled meeting with the police today for the 3rd time ~ I'm not sure just how patient the police will remain ~ Sooz


Tiger Woods issues statement on crash

This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be."

Woods is under no obligation to talk to the police. They can't have anything but patience.

Nobody is ever compelled to answer questions by police. It's the "right to remain silent." Even the police in Florida have said he's not under any requirement to talk to them.

I'm not sure what they are really investigating, anyway, that they would really need to talk to him about. There was property damage, but it's not a criminal matter. Unless they had him take a breathalyzer test or a drug test, there's nothing they can charge him with as they don't have a witness to the accident. And they already said alcohol wasn't a factor.

If it were anybody wlse, nobody would care what happened. The only reason this is an issue is because it's Tiger Woods. He's entitled to just as much privacy as any one of us. There's nothing for him to be gained by providing fodder for tabloids and gossip sheets.

Now I may be wrong, but the accident took place in a gated community. That means everything inside the gates is private property, including the streets. I don't think they could have even made him take a breathalyzer or drug test. And he doesn't have to speak to them about anything.

What do ya think gopqed?

I don't think that's true, but I'm not sure what the Florida laws are.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department is saying the Florida Highway Patrol has jurisdiction because the Isleworth development is part of the unincorporated area in Orange County.

ahhhhhhhhh.....When I think of Orange County, I think of Cali. Forgot this took place in Florida.

Thanks
