Golf superstar Tiger Woods was operated on Tuesday after suffering multiple leg injuries when an SUV he was driving crashed and rolled over in Los Angeles, authorities and his agent said.
Woods, who was the only person in the vehicle, was “rescued from the wreck with the” jaws of life “by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics and then taken by ambulance to a local hospital for his injuries,” said the sheriff Department of that district in a tweet.
The MPs arrived at the scene of the accident on the border between Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes at around 7:12 a.m.
Officials said “the vehicle suffered great damage.”
Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg told Golf Digest in a statement, “Tiger Woods was in a car accident in California this morning that left him with multiple leg injuries.”
“He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and assistance,” Steinberg said.
Wood’s stellar career was shaken in November 2009 when he prematurely crashed an SUV into a fire hydrant outside his then home in Windermere, Florida.
