- Police reveal details of crash that left golfer seriously injured
- Officials have said drugs and alcohol not a factor in accident
Tiger Woods was driving at speeds up to 87mph (135km/h) in a 45mph zone when he was involved in a serious car crash earlier this year, according to Los Angeles police during a press conference on Wednesday.
Los Angeles county sheriff Alex Villanueva said the speed was “unsafe for the road conditions” and Woods did not brake in the run-up to the collision, perhaps because he pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal in a state of panic.
