According to reports by WRAL, Tiger Woods wife, Elin Nordegren, rescued Tiger from the vehicle after he crashed by smashing the back window with a golf club. Tiger Woods pulled out of the driveway at his Windermere, Florida mansion home at approximately 2:25 a.m., Friday, November 27, 2009 and crashed into a fire hydrant, and then a tree located in his neighbor’s yard.

Reports state that when police arrived at the scene Tiger Woods was laying in the road with his wife, Elin Nordegren, was standing near him. Elin Nordegren told authorities that she had heard the accident, rushed outside and saw Tiger trapped in the vehicle. Using the golf club, she smashed the window and pulled him out of the car. Reports state that Tiger was in and out of consciousness when help arrived. Tiger Woods was transported to the Health Central Hospital where he was treated, released, and said to be in good condition.

According to reports, Tiger Woods suffered facial lacerations that included injuries to his upper and lower lips and that blood was in his mouth when help arrived. The Florida Highway Patrol arrived at the scene, spoke with Tiger Woods in the hospital before he was released, and is believed to have met with Tiger and his wife at the couple’s home. They have stated that they do not believe that alcohol was a factor in the accident and that Tiger Woods was alone in the vehicle at the time of the car crash.
It has not yet been released where Tiger Woods was going at 2:25 in the morning.

The investigation continues and it is possible that charges will be filed.

    I Don't know. Sounds like she hit him with the golf club and was chasing him down the driveway, even possibly hitting the windows as he was driving away. He in turn accidentally hit the fire hydrant and tree. Maybe he said he didn't want to be with her anymore or something like that. The whole thing sounds weird.

    Who hears a car crash from inside the house and runs to their aid with a golf club in hand. Where did the club come from? I smell a domestic violence dispute ready to be swept under the carpet.
