Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods wife heard the car accident early Friday morning in front of their house, and ran out to help. Nordegren was unable to open the car door, so she used a golf club and smashed the back window of the car and pulled Tiger Woods out of the car, according to the Associated Press.

When officers arrived, Elin Nordegren was standing over Tiger Woods body that was lying in the street in front of their house; Woods was in and out of consciousness. Woods had cuts on his face and officers gave him first aid until fire rescue arrived.

In 2008, Tiger Woods underwent his third arthroscopic knee surgery in Park City, Utah. He missed two months of the PGA Tour while he recovered.

    Great article. It's such a shame that the whole Tiger Woods incident has left so many people hurting. I wonder if it could have been avoided? I wrote an article on how a woman should call it quits long before it ever gets to this point. There must have been signs. Anyone is welcome to read it under SF World Travel Examiner (the article is: "Breaking news, did Tiger Woods traveling lifestyle ruin his marriage?")
