A report said investigators working to determine the cause of Tiger Woods’ rollover crash have obtained data stored in the “black box” of the luxury SUV.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department executed a search warrant to gather information that could show the vehicle’s speed before the collision and whether its brakes were applied, officials Told USA Today.
“We are trying to determine whether the crime took place,” Sheriff’s Deputy John Schlogel told the news outlet.
“If someone is involved in a traffic collision, then we have to rebuild the traffic collision. If someone did careless driving, if someone was on their cell phone or something like that. If there was no crime, we close the case, and it was a regular traffic collision. “
Woods was driving the 2021 Genesis GV 80 solo when he turned around in the middle of Hawthorne Boulevard in Rancho Palos Verids, hit the road and crashed into a tree.
The great golfer broke several bones in his lower right leg and is still recovering in the hospital.
A forensic car specialist Told USA Today It appeared that Woods had not been paying attention moments before the disastrous accident.
“To me, it’s like a classic case of falling asleep behind the wheel as the road recedes and its vehicle goes straight,” the newspaper told the news outlet, Jonathan Cherney, an expert witness.
Felix Lee, an accident reconstruction specialist, told the outlet: “My feeling is that speed was not an issue. It was just some sort of inadvertence that led to this strike being curbed.
