[center]Tiger Woods Seriously Injured In Car Crash[/center]

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously hurt during a car crash near his Windermere Home early Friday morning.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the 33-year-old was driving a 2009 Cadillac SUV when he hit a fire hydrant and then slammed into a tree on Deacon Circle at 2:25 AM.

Woods was by himself at the time.

He was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee.

It’s not clear yet what caused the crash. Investigators say alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

Charges are pending.

Re: Tiger Woods Seriously Injured In Car Crash With Tree by 4Play(m): 10:38pm On Nov 28, 2009
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.

@topic

Assuming the reports about Tiger and his alteraction with his wife is true . . .


- Its unfortunate that Rich and successful black men simply do not learn . . . and are ignorant of history . . .

- I lost my respect for Tiger Woods when he started saying he was "Cablasian" . . . WTF! is that sef . . .

He is a black man born of an Asian mother . . .yet he seems to want to present himself as acceptable to white people and hence distance himself from his kit and kin (Black people).

what he does not seem to understand is that when push comes to shove . . .White people would always support their own . . . hence he would become isolated . . .since he choose to distance himself from black people . . . (who are not stupid and hence would gladly keep him at arms lenght).

No black people cant keep him at arm lemnght black people are desperate for successful blackmen hence they'll receive any black man with open arms especially one who's had a bit on the side chop knuckle my broda!!!

- Very True and you are right about that

- A Father as the right to smoke . . .but chooses not to cus of the knock on effect it might have on his children.

- Racism and Fighting racism is not a "what i want to do thing", instead "its a what is the right thing to do thing".

- Black people are not desperate, they know who is bullshiting and who is not bullshitting. They know who deserves respect and who deserves to be embraced and who deserves to be kept at arms lenght.

- The word on the street as regards Tiger is that he had his chance and blew it . . .

- According to TMZ reports . . . it seems the fight is the more sensible foundation of what happened.

- Whether that is true or not . . .we still can't know unless Tiger and Wife confirms it.

hehehehehe. . . . is Tiger a bitch or what?. . . . how can his wife physically assault him?. . . . Im no advocate for men hitting women, but sometimes you just gotta shake a bitch to bring her back to her senses.  tongue tongue tongue

Fortunately for Tiger, he knows the ramifications of responding physically to a white woman. . . . they would turn him into OJ Simpson or Chris Brown ptII. . . . it's America baby!!!  grin grin grin

Tiger Woods hits out at 'false rumours' after car crash

Tiger Woods has hit out at "unfounded rumours" circulating since his car accident in the early hours of Friday.

The golfer was found semi-conscious with facial injuries after his car reportedly hit a fire hydrant and tree.

In a statement on his website the golfer said the only person responsible for the crash in Florida "was me".

He added: "The many false, unfounded and malicious rumours that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible."

The incident occurred in the suburb of Isleworth, an exclusive area near Orlando, at 0225 local time (0725 GMT) on Friday.

Florida police officers were told Woods' wife Elin had used a golf club to break the car's rear window and help him out.
Police were expected to question Woods about the incident on Sunday but the Associated Press reported that the meeting was cancelled for the third straight day.

Sgt Kim Montes of the Florida Highway Patrol said Woods' lawyer did not reschedule the meeting.

In a statement posted online about an hour before he was due to be interviewed, Woods said: "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.

Ouch, ouch. Is he still dominating the sport the way people expected him to?
Re: Tiger Woods Seriously Injured In Car Crash With Tree by FBS: 9:55am On Nov 30, 2009
He is still the number 1 golfer.
Re: Tiger Woods Seriously Injured In Car Crash With Tree by Nobody: 12:55pm On Nov 30, 2009
FBS,
Leave matter for Matthias.
Truth is,tiger has been having an affair with a waitress.(White,by the way,so you can understand why the police will not rush to investigate him grin grin)
He and his wife had a row about it,probably as a result of a text from the waitress.
The wife chased Tiger out with a club and Tiger jumed into his van,whilethe wife went after him with the club and swung at the car,hitting the back screen,and probably causing Tiger to veer into the tree.
just adding 1 and1 t make 2.
