Tiger Woods was injured in a serious car crash Monday and needed to be extricated from his vehicle with the "jaws of life," the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.

Woods was the sole occupant in the crash near the Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Officials said the crash occurred at around 7:12 a.m. and the vehicle sustained "major damage."

Tiger Woods is awake, responsive and recovering in a Los Angeles-area hospital after the golf legend was injured in a single-vehicle rollover crash Tuesday morning, according to a statement from his official Twitter account early Wednesday.

Dr. Anish Mahajan, chief medical officer and interim CEO of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center said Woods is recovering from a long surgical procedure to repair "significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity"

"Comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia," said Mahajan. "Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins."

"Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling," he continued.

The statement also expressed appreciation for the doctors and hospital staff at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and the Fire Department.

"There are no further updates at this time and we continue to thank you for your well-wishes and privacy for him and his family," the statement added.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Woods was driving at a "relatively greater speed than normal" when he crashed in a hilly area and that Woods was driving northbound when he hit a center divider and flew several hundred feet. He noted that there was no evidence of impairment when emergency personnel arrived.

"[The vehicle] crossed the center divider, to the point that it rested several hundred feet away so obviously that indicates they were going at a relatively -- a greater speed than normal. However, because it is downhill, it slopes and it also curves," Villanueva said. "That area has a high frequency of accidents. It’s not uncommon."

Villanueva added that the front end of the 2021 Hyundai Genesis SUV that Woods was driving was "totally destroyed" but the interior was "more or less intact."

Woods was pulled from the wreckage by Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel and transported to the hospital, reports said.

Former President Trump wished Woods a speedy recovery following the crash.

"It's just tragic," Trump told "Fox News Primetime" Tuesday evening. "[Woods has] overcome a lot, but he's had an incredible life and he's going to continue to have an incredible life. But now he'll recover from this -- it's pretty bad on the legs, I understand. He'll figure a way, but he's a wonderful person."

Deputy Carlos Gonzalez, who was among the first emergency personnel members to arrive at the scene, said Woods knew where he was and what time of day it was. He described Woods as "calm and lucid."

Two sources told Fox News that Woods was set to work with Discovery Networks to do behind the scenes "teaching lessons" with several stars.

Officials said that a second crash occurred after Woods’ wreck but there were no injuries from that incident. The Lomita Sheriff’s Station was continuing the investigation.

He was helping promote the golf tournament this past weekend which was sponsored by Genesis Motor which is the luxury division of Hyundai, so I'm sure that SUV was free to him.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Sounds like his legs and feet are fucked

[Godfather]

Rods in his leg too eh?

Hopefully he gets a good quality of life back, nevermind golf....

Yeah, I'm calling B.S. My bet is money has exchanged hands, somewhere, somehow.

[FBD]

My money's on the Hastings treatment having failed

[Godfather]

Grain of salt but some dude on /r/golf who lived in that area said this stretch of road is pretty treacherous and often foggy in the early morning.

I still wouldn't put my precious v-bucks against him being stoned, but I hope it was just bad driving. Guy already gets dragged through the mud so much, I have a big soft spot for Tig :lol:

What's that, drug rehab?

[FBD]

Tiger Woods would always wear his trademark red and black gear on the final day of tournaments.

But since the legendary golfer couldn’t participate at the WGC-Workday Championship in Bradenton, Fla. on Sunday, others picked up the slack.

Rory Mcllroy, Justin Thomas, and Jason Day, among others, were seen wearing red and black in honor of Woods, who was involved in a car crash in Los Angeles earlier this week.

Woods took notice of the gesture and showed his appreciation to other golfers on Twitter in his first personal statement since the accident.

"It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts. To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time," Woods wrote.

Led by Annika Sorenstam at the Gainbridge LPGA event in Orlando, many of the women golfers also sported Woods’ signature colors as well.

Woods’ golf future is obviously up in the air after he suffered multiple fractures to his leg and a shattered ankle. But the 45-year-old is in "good spirits."
