Tiger Woods was injured in the leg in a serious car accident Tuesday. Meanwhile, the 45-year-old has undergone surgery, according to the golf star’s team. He was “awake and responsive,” he says in a statement.
Tiger Woods suffered multiple open fractures in his serious car accident. “Open debris fractures that affected the upper and lower part of the tibia and fibula were stabilized with a rod in the tibia,” Woods’ management quoted the treating physician in a statement distributed on Twitter. Other bone injuries to the foot and ankle were stabilized with screws and pins.
According to reports from his management, the 45-year-old is awake and accessible. There will be no more information at the moment. Whether Woods was injured only in his right leg in the accident or, as authorities previously said, but in both legs, was not clear in the statement.
Tree felled and felled multiple times
Woods had lost control of his vehicle in southeast Los Angeles on Tuesday morning and rolled over multiple times. In the process, the SUV toppled a tree and flung it down the two opposite lanes onto an embankment. Tiger Woods was alone in the vehicle at the time of the accident. This was badly damaged in the accident. The Los Angeles County Sheriff in charge has begun investigating the cause of the accident.
