Tiger Woods Is Not Facing Charges After Car Crash

Tiger Woods will not be facing any charges over his severe accident on Tuesday. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva answered questions from the media on the L.A. County’s Sheriff’s Department Facebook, where he was asked if the 45-year-old pro golfer would face reckless driving charges.

“No…This is purely an accident,” Sheriff Villanueva said. “We do not contemplate any charges whatsoever in this crash. This remains an accident. An accident is not a crime.”

Prior to that, the sheriff once again confirmed, “There was no evidence of any impairment whatsoever.”

“He was lucid, no odor of alcohol, no evidence of any medication, narcotics, or anything like that, that would bring that into question,” he said, adding that there was no failed sobriety test. “This is what it is, an accident.”

Sheriff Villanueva explained that as an accident, there could have been “any type of distraction,” explaining that the road Woods was on “has had quite a few accidents.” He shared that there have been 13 accidents since last January on the same stretch of road Woods crashed.

“If you’re not paying attention, you can see what happens,” he noted, adding that they do not know what Woods’ speed was at the time of the crash. The road has a 45 mph speed limit.
