Tiger Woods, a world professional golfer, runs north-south in an upscale residential area 30 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, USA, after 7 a.m. on February 23 Pacific Standard Time. The US caused only one accident.
Although the cause of the accident has not been clarified, the Genesis GV80 driven by Woods curves gently downhill, crosses the median strip, crosses the opposite lane (two lanes) and collides with a tree on the curve. After several rollovers, it finally stopped hundreds of meters from the road.
The car fell down a slope on the side of the road and crashed, and the rescue team slashed the windshield and rescued Woods in the driver’s seat. Although he was seriously injured with an open fracture of the lower extremities, his life was no different and he is currently being treated at UCLA’s Harbor UCLA Medical Center.
According to the local sheriff, it is a place where many speeding accidents have occurred.
According to the safety officer in charge of investigating the accident, “the speed limit here is 45 miles (about 72 km / h), but in reality, many cars run 70 to 80 miles (112-128 km / h). A gentle descent. And because the road is wide, it can be said that it is a place where speed can be reached easily. “
“This is why the speed limit is limited to 45 miles (approximately 72 km / h) … There are frequent crackdowns on speeding violations. Woods appears to have been driving at a fairly high speed.” That thing.
Why Woods was riding the GV80
The Genesis GV80, which Woods drove and caused an accident, is not owned by Woods himself.
It’s actually a car related to the “Genesis Invitational” golf tournament that Woods participated in.
As the name implies, it is one of the PGA Tours sponsored by Genesis, and was once sponsored by Nissan USA.
Hyundai became the crown sponsor in 2017, and the tournament was renamed “Genesis Open” the same year and “Genesis Invitational” from 2020.
Max Homa won the 2021 tournament held from February 18 to 21. In addition to the winning prize of $ 9.3 million, Houma received the Genesis GV80 as a bonus prize.
And the Genesis GV80 was also loaned to Tiger Woods.
Woods was riding alone in the Genesis GV80, and it looks like he was picking up a lot of speed, but there was no evidence that he was driving under the influence, and he said he was wearing his seatbelt correctly.
If the seat belt was not fastened in such a large accident, there was a good chance that it would come loose outside the vehicle during the rollover and cause death.
Woods broke his lower limbs, but his upper body, including his head, was almost intact due to the effects of multiple airbags.
By the way, the GV80 is equipped with a total of 10 or more airbags, including the “front seat center airbag”, side (front and rear, left and right), up (left and right up) and knees (left and right) ) knees straight).
So what kind of brand is this Genesis GV80 car?
