tiger woods car crash

Newly released documents offer more details about Tiger Woods' car crash

The ambulance crew prevented Elin Woods from riding with her husband to the hospital, believing it was a case of domestic violence, but police found no evidence to support that

Tiger Woods, during an emotional public apology Feb. 19, said emphatically that his wife had not attacked him.

Windermere police, the first to arrive at the scene, found Woods lying on the pavement, his wife hovering over him, according to the records.

She heard the crash, she told Windermere Officer Brandon McDonnell, then she got into a golf cart and drove to find the crash scene, the report says.

She didn't have to go far. Her husband's black Cadillac Escalade had come to a standstill after traveling about 150 feet and striking a tree in a neighbor's front yard.

She broke out the vehicle's rear windows using a golf club, she told Windermere officers, then helped her husband from the SUV, him leaning against her, and he collapsed onto the pavement, according to FHP records.

Officers found the golf club near the driver's door.

Tiger Woods was unconscious and shoeless. Neighbors brought out a blanket and pillow, and Elin Woods brought him a pair of socks before the ambulance carried him away, according to the records.

Another Windermere police officer, Jason Sipos, talked to Elin Woods, according to the FHP paperwork.

"He asked [Elin Woods] if he had been drinking and she stated no, that he had taken his medication earlier, but did not provide a time. The medication was Vicodin," the report said.

She went inside and retrieved two small bottles to show to the ambulance crew.

McDonnell told troopers that he didn't smell alcohol on Tiger Woods or in the SUV.

Woods' home has four security cameras. Woods' lawyer, Mark NeJame, told troopers that he would provide them video from the system. But after having problems trying to decipher it, he apparently never did.

The day FHP made its request for the video, NeJame said he tried but could not figure out how to operate the system. Five hours later, a woman from his office called troopers, saying they still couldn't figure it out but would call the next day.
