The sports world was rocked Tuesday with the news that Tiger Woods suffered significant leg and ankle injuries in a single-car crash near Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. When first responders arrived to the scene, they used an ax and pry bar (“jaws of life”) to remove the golfer from his vehicle.
Woods was transported to the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center via ambulance, where he underwent “a long surgical procedure on his lower right leg and ankle,” according to a statement from his team.
Woods, who is currently awake and responsive, reportedly sustained two leg fractures and a shattered ankle.
