Tiger Woods Crash: Unlabeled pharmaceutical bottle found scene
Tiger Woods thought he was in Florida when a deputy interviewed him at the Los Angeles hospital following the golfer’s rollover crash in February. That’s according to a 22-page collision report obtained by USA Today.
The document revealed new details surrounding Woods’s single-car accident. It includes how his blood pressure was “too low to administer any type of pain medication†shortly after the accident.

There was an empty, unlabeled pharmaceutical bottle in a backpack at the scene.
As well as that, data from the vehicle’s black-box recorder showed that the golfer was driving in a straight line before a small amount of steering input registered late in the wreck sequence.
“Had [Woods] applied his brakes to reduce his speed or steered to correct the direction of travel, he would not have collided with the center median and the collision would not have occurred,†said the report on the data prepared by Sergeant Michael Downing.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) confirmed on April 7 that the primary cause of the crash was Tiger Woods driving at an unsafe speed. He was driving an estimated 84–87 mph in a 45-mph zone when he crashed his SUV on Feb. 23 in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in a press conference on Wednesday.
No charges were issued against Woods. Villanueva said there weren’t independent witnesses or officers who observed the event. As a result evidence from the SUV’s black box is insufficient for a citation.
