News saying he had to be removed from his truck with the jaws of life. He has been taken to a local hospital.

Not that it matters, but Jaws of life were not used. Something called a Halligan tool (similar to a crow bar) and an ax were used.

"Lt. Michael White later told CBSLA reports of the “jaws of life” being used were inaccurate. "

"“Tiger Woods was trapped inside the vehicle, so our firefighters and our firefighter paramedics used a pry bar, called a Halligan tool, and an ax to pry parts of the vehicle away from him,” Osby said.""

Anyways glad he's okay. Maybe he'll pull a Ben Hogan and win the US Open next year.

The doctor used the word "comminuted" describing the leg injury.  UB grad. Had to look it up.  Owwwwwwww!

They said he was traveling at a high rate of speed.  Entered the turn like that and rolled it.

 

They rodded his tib/fib and had to do fasciotomies.

I had to look up what a fasciotomy is. :sick:

Medically it just means a break or splinter into more than two fragments

 

Not really dust

So they now know what happened, but won't release details unless Tiger says it's ok.  Makes it sound suspicious to me. 

 

Detectives find cause of Tiger Woods crash but won't reveal (apnews.com)

The Los Angeles County sheriff says detectives have determined what caused Tiger Woods to crash his SUV last month in Southern California but would not release details Wednesday, citing unspecified privacy concerns for the golf star.

Sadly, I am wondering if he tried to kill himself.  The police intimated that he may have mistaken the accelerator for the brake.  But he never let off the accelerator and hit with his foot firmly on the gas.  This would explain why the police needed his permission to release the facts due to HIPPA.
