Tiger Woods car crash was caused by speed

[True Dough]

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Tiger was driving 83 MPH in a 45 mph zone at the time of the crash. They say speed was the sole cause of the crash. We're told Tiger waived his right of privacy and authorized the release of the accident report to the public.

We're told the SUV's black box shows Tiger actually accelerated at the time of the crash. We're also told that just as Tiger lost control the SUV actually gained speed.

There's more ... law enforcement sources tell us, the Sheriff's Dept. did not get a warrant to check Tiger's cell phone to determine if he was on a call or texting at the time of the crash. Our sources say the Dept. felt it did not have probable cause to get a warrant for cell phone records, although that is often done in accident investigations.

1. He got special treatment.

I would bet he was texting.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Speed? He was also driving fast too! 😂

[hlthe2b]

2. Talking on cell phone? Maybe. Anger? maybe. Apathetic or even suicidal? now that is a question.

[Frustratedlady]

3. How's he doing? n/t

[Blues Heron]

4. I'm sure Nike doesn't appreciate its logo right there

[gldstwmn]

16. Nor the car manufacturer that sponsored the tournament

Seeing their wrecked vehicle all over the news.

5. Makes No Sense

Why no braking? No physical skid marks and apparently no indication from the black box that the brake pedal was even pressed. Perhaps he nodded off and only woke up after he had left the road.

[underpants]

6. He was in a hurry. He'd gone to the wrong location and hates being late

That’s what I’ve put together from everything I’ve read.

[WHITT]

11. But

if he was awake and lost control, he wouldn't have accelerated, he would have braked. But if he nodded off, he could have accelerated, and not braked.

[gldstwmn]

17. I agree he dozed off

probably due to pain medication. Sorry, not sorry.

7. The witnesses at the hotel said he looked agitated and was speeding as he

left the parking lot. The director for a tv show being filmed there said Tiger almost hit him as he left the parking lot. He told the crew that BEFORE Tiger’s accident was reported.

8. Imagine if a normal person did it! nt

[leftyladyfrommo]

9. I think he has probably paid enough for what happened. nt

[maxsolomon]

10. Who could ever have guess that speed played a role?

I just shocked.

[misanthrope]

12. Would it be safe to say the root cause was petulance?

It would fit with the tales of his behavior that have circulated for decades.

[SYFROYH]

13. Tiger Woods you better watch your speed

[gldstwmn]

14. Who accelerates going into a curve?

Also not even a citation? Pressure is being applied.

[Bayard]

15. Caused by speed....

Does that mean rate of travel, or the drug?

[gldstwmn]

18. Lol! He wouldn't have dozed off if he was speeding.

The drug I mean.

[True Dough]

19. You may have detected a double-entendre

Indeed! The answer to your question may not be forthcoming, however.

[HipChick]

20. Let he or her that has never sped, or been in a hurry

cast the first stone...lot of judgement in this thread

Hope he is healing well...

[2naSalit]

22. +1

[True Dough]

23. I also hope he is healing well, but I'm opposed to different applications of justice

based on an individual's level of fame or athletic abilities.

I will confess to speeding now and again but I've never come close to doubling the posted limit. That borders on recklessness. There ought to be a thorough investigation and reasonable consequences in such instances.

[HipChick]

26. There was a case where a Dr's son killed someone

on a DUI...


The deceased was walking on the sidewalk, when he was hit

Nothing ever happened to the son...


Let's not kid ourselves...huge double standards in this country..

[True Dough]

27. Right, and I'm opposed to all of those double standards

And I will speak up against injustices as I become aware of them. Whether that effects any change, I don't know, but if enough of us insist on equity then hopefully we can move the needle.

[Mysterian]

25. I can say with certainty I've never driven 83 in a 45 zone.

Tiger Woods is an asshole who endangered others with his reckless driving.

[RobinA]

28. I'll Say!

Same with petulance. Who among us has never gotten into a car with a burr up their butt.

[BornADemocrat]

29. Agreed

It's annoying to realize that no matter what political persuasion a person is, they're likely to be judgmental as heck if they're a political junkie - especially if the person in question is active in the other political party. Politics brings out the worst in people - especially recently.

[miyazaki]

24. Lol that's reckless driving by default and would usually

call for an appearance in front of the judge. But if a tree falls in the woods and nobody
sees it, it never happened.

Here's to your next scandal.

[Demsrule86]

30. It could also be a suicide attempt.

[True Dough]

31. Turns out Tiger's injuries were more extensive than previously revealed

32. I hope he gets charged with a crime

I hope he gets charged with a crime, convicted and on to anger management classes, counseling and forced sobriety for awhile.
