    Woods injured in crash near homeComment Email Print Share Associated Press

    ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods has been seriously injured in a car wreck in Florida, authorities said Friday.

    The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway early Friday in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle.

    Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital. His condition was not immediately known, though the news release said his injuries were serious.

    The highway patrol says the crash is still under investigation, and charges are pending. However, the highway patrol said the crash was not alcohol-related.

    How can you be 'seriously' injured after backing up out of your driveway and hitting a fire hydrant?

    That sounds really weird. How do you hit a fire hydrant AND a tree backing out of your driveway and if you're backing out, how fast can you be going to seriously injure yourself? It just sounds odd.

    Maybe the tree fell over? Hope he's okay, nothing career-threatening.

    I have a feeling this will be connected to his affair rumors.

    What the hell? I don't understand how you can get severely injured backing out of your damn driveway...

    He's either drunk or careless. Either way, this should not have happened.

    I know this goes way into conspriacy theory territory but wasn't he just caught cheating on his wife???...I am sure his wife wasn't to happy about it but only a thought with the vagueness of the accident.

    A little more - they start the article stating he is in 'very serious condition'.
    ______

    Woods pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community when he struck the hydrant. He then plowed into the tree on his neighbor's property. He was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla.

    Woods was apparently traveling under 33 mph because the Cadillac Escalade's airbags didn't inflate, the FHP said.

    No one has indicated whether or not he was in the car alone. His injuries could have been caused by something other than the crash.
