Tiger Woods has been hospitalized for “multiple leg injuries” after being involved in a serious car accident on Tuesday morning near Ranchos Palos Verdes, California. He had to be extracted from his sports-utility vehicle as it sustained “major damage” following a single-vehicle rollover traffic crash, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg said that he “was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support.”
Woods was reportedly “traveling at a high rate of speed” when he “lost control of the vehicle before crossing the center divider” with his SUV rolling multiple times, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times. The crash, which occurred shortly after 7 a.m. PT, is under investigation by the LASD.
