The golfer sustained serious leg injuries in a rollover crash on Tuesday, Feb. 23, in Southern California. The car he was driving, a 2021 Genesis GV80 mid-size SUV, was found several hundred feet away from the center divider, in an area that has a "high frequency" of accidents, officials said.
Authorities later stated that Woods will not face charges, adding investigators found no "evidence of impairment" when treating him at the scene.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told reporters, "We don’t contemplate any charges whatsoever in this crash" and that the wreck was "purely an accident."
As for how Woods survived such a serious accident, the sheriff explained, "Thankfully, the interior was more or less intact, which kind of gave him the cushion to survive what otherwise would have been a fatal crash."
Woods was wearing a seatbelt, which authorities believe also saved his life.
