According to BBC, agent Mark Steinberg said the 45-year-old Woods suffered “multiple leg injuries” and immediately underwent surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Based on the police reports, Woods’ two legs were broken due to the accident. However, it was confirmed that the injuries suffered by the famous athlete were not fatal.
Woods’ car allegedly rolled down the steep slope so it sustained serious injuries but it is possible that his life was saved because he was wearing a seatbelt.
Police said Mr. Woods is very fortunate as he was able to come out of this alive. Woods was conscious and spoke to them when they arrived at the scene of the accident.
Alex Villanueva of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the accident occurred around 7:18 a.m. in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. County Fire Department’s Fire Chief Daryl Osby added Woods was in serious condition when they arrived at the hospital.
