Los Angeles Police says excessive speed caused Golfer Tiger Woods’ car crash in February.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff, Alex Villanueva, disclosed this in a press conference on Wednesday.
He said Woods was driving above the legal speed limit when the crash occurred.
The 45 years old American and 15-time Majors winner had suffered leg fractures and would not participate in the upcoming Masters tournament as he recovers from home.
Data from the car’s black box revealed that Woods was travelling between 84 – 87 mph on a 45 mph his car careered off the road and rolled multiple times, the sheriff said.
“The primary causal factor for this traffic collision was driving at a speed unsafe for the road conditions and the inability to negotiate the curve of the roadway,” Villanueva said.
“Estimated speeds at the first area of impact were 84 to 87 miles per hour.”
