Tiger Woods had pills in his pocket when he crashed his SUV in Southern California, according to authorities. The incident took place on February 23, 2021, in the Rolling Hills Estates near Los Angeles. Woods was the sole person involved in the crash.
Law enforcement sources revealed that the pro golfer had multiple pill bottles in his possession, although it remains unclear if Woods had taken any of the medication before the accident. The contents of the bottles have not been disclosed.
Woods issued a statement after the crash, expressing gratitude to the bystanders who helped him and the first responders who attended to the scene. He sustained serious leg injuries that required surgery and a lengthy recovery period.
Woods’ team has not commented on the presence of pills at the crash site, and it is uncertain if this new information will have any legal implications for the golfer. The authorities have not yet indicated if they will pursue any charges related to the incident but confirmed that the primary focus of the investigation was the cause of the crash.
The circumstances surrounding the crash and the presence of medication are expected to be thoroughly investigated by the authorities to determine the factors that led to the accident.
