In reply to the discussion: Tiger isn't "lucky to be alive" the rest of us are lucky he didn't kill someone innocent [View all]FakeNoose
(32,610 posts)37. He was on a dangerous road that he was unfamiliar with
The residents who live around there have been interviewed on tv and they've said that road is dangerously steep and the roadbed is banked the wrong way. Any driver who goes into a skid or loses control is shit-out-of-luck on that road.
I can relate to his problem because we have some very hilly roads around Pittsburgh and some of them are engineered incorrectly. We also have snow and ice, but Tiger didn't have to contend with that. He wasn't drinking or using drugs, they already know that.
Anyone who's driving on an unfamiliar road, and not particularly being careful, could have had the same accident. You're not showing much sympathy - it could have been you.

Yes he crossed the median into the opposing lane. It is very fortunate no one else was killed.

Top end is 147 mph. He probably had the V-6, which does zero to 60 in 5.3 seconds.
