Tiger Woods Update: Forensic Experts Suggest One Possible Cause For Golfer's Car Crash

A shocking theory could provide a clearer look at how Tiger Woods ended up crashing his car in the middle of the road.

Woods’ tragic car accident has been the biggest story in golf these past few days. Experts continue to find vital information in an attempt to figure out what possibly led to the horrific accident.

According to some forensic experts examining Woods’ car crash, “the available evidence” leads them to a theory that the 15-time major champion “was not paying attention” to the road before the accident occurred, the proponents recently told USA Today Sports.

“[Woods] was traveling north near Los Angeles when his sports utility vehicle left its lane, went across the median into the southbound lanes, went off the road, hit a tree, rolled over and sustained major frontal damage. Woods also broke multiple bones in his lower right leg, which indicates he was applying the brake at the time of impact, according to the experts. They also said the evidence indicates Woods applied the brake late into the collision sequence,” the news outlet wrote.

Jonathan Cherney, a former police detective and a consultant who provides car accident analysis, has been working on the legendary golf player’s car accident since it happened. He said that based on his examination, the unfortunate incident involving Woods was “a classic case of falling asleep” while driving.

“To me, this is like a classic case of falling asleep behind the wheel, because the road curves and his vehicle goes straight,” Cherney told the outlet. “It’s a drift off the road, almost like he was either unconscious, suffering from a medical episode, or fell asleep and didn’t wake up until he was off the road and that’s where the brake application came in.”

Felix Lee, an accident reconstruction expert, on the other hand, came up with the resembling theory.

As per Lee, the absence of “tire marks” strongly suggests that Woods did not have any trouble with “speed.” Like Cherney, the expert has a feeling that the 45-year-old was not completely focused on the road.

“My feeling is that speed wasn’t that much of an issue,” Lee said. “It was just some kind of inattention that caused the curb strike.”

Prior to the accident, Woods was coming off his fifth back surgery and was being monitored by his doctors.

This has led to some fans thinking that his post-surgery meds could have caused his worn-out look during his last interview before the accident.

Meanwhile, Woods have already shown his appreciation to his peers who wore “red shirts” as a tribute to his trademark Sunday red during the final round of the WGC-Workday Championship.

"It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts," Woods wrote on Twitter. "To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time."
