LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County sheriff is characterizing the crash that seriously injured Tiger Woods as “purely an accident.”
Sheriff Alex Villanueva appeared to rule out any potential criminal charges even as authorities were still investigating. Deputies did not see any evidence that the 15-time major champion was impaired by drugs or alcohol after Tuesday’s rollover wreck on a downhill stretch of road known for crashes.
A post on Woods’ Twitter account said the crash caused “significant” injuries to his right leg, and he underwent a “long surgical procedure.”
