Golf legend Tiger Woods was injured in a roll-over traffic accident near Los Angeles early Tuesday and hospitalized after he was extricated from the wreck with the “jaws of life” by firefighters and paramedics, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
Woods suffered multiple leg injuries and was taken into surgery, his agent Mark Steinberg said in a statement. Woods was removed from the vehicle with emergency rescue tools and taken by an ambulance to a local hospital after the crash at 7:12 a.m local time, the authorities said in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon. The severity of his injuries is not clear at this time. No cause for the crash, in the Rancho Palos Verdes area, was given, and the vehicle in the single-car wreck suffered “major damage,” according to authorities.
“Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries,” Steinberg said in the statement. “He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support.” Woods, 45 years old, said in January that he had recently undergone back surgery—the latest in a string of ailments that threw arguably the greatest golfer ever off course. He appeared on TV for an interview over the weekend at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in the Los Angeles area, which he hosts, though he didn’t say when he would be healthy enough to return.
May Allah bless him speedy recovery and complete health!
Be well Mr. Woods.
