Tiger Woods’ vehicle (Mark J. Terrill for For The Times)
Tiger Woods is not facing charges of reckless driving following the car crash in which he suffered serious leg injuries, authorities said Wednesday.
“A reckless driving charge has a lot of elements into it, this is purely an accident,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told reporters.
He added that the most Woods could face would be a low-level offence known as an ‘infraction’ if investigators conclude that he was not paying attention or speeding.
“There’ll be a cause of it, and there’ll be a vehicle code attached to the cause.
“But that’s an infraction and a reckless driving is actually more than an infraction. That’s a misdemeanor crime that has a lot of elements attached to it and there’s nothing, nothing like that,” said Villanueva.
The sheriff said he hoped the brand new SUV was equipped with an in-vehicle data recorder that may help shed some light on the cause of the accident.
“We’re hoping obviously there’s going to be… this black box and we’ll have some information about the speed. It will may be a factor in this accident.”
Woods, 45, was driving alone in a Los Angeles suburb on a road notorious for fatal accidents when he crashed on Tuesday morning. No other vehicles were involved.
Firefighters and paramedics cut the 15-time major champion out of the wreckage before taking him to hospital, where he is recovering after surgery on his lower right leg and ankle.
Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni addresses the media during the 2020 National Budget Press Conference at the Parliament House on February 26, 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa. The national budget speech is the governments spending plan for the coming financial year. The minister of finance is responsible for allocating money to the governments different programmes and objectives.

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni told reporters following his Budget speech on Wednesday that while government appreciated the urgent need for social spending and relief interventions, he made no apologies about the pressure that economic realities placed on this spending.
According to the Budget Review, over the Medium-term Expenditure Framework period, the social grants budget is reduced by 2.2%. In addition, all grant values will increase by less than inflation, while the number of beneficiaries is expected to increase by 300 000 people.
The Budget Review stated that total social grants had been reduced by R5.8 billion in the 2021/22 financial year, R10.7 billion in the 2022/23 financial year and R19.5 billion in the 2023/24 financial year.
During his speech, Mboweni told members of Parliament that R6.3 billion would be allocated to extend the special Covid-19 social relief of distress grant until the end of April 2021.
“In addition, R678.3 million is earmarked for provincial departments of social development and basic education to continue rolling out free sanitary products for learners from low-income households,” said Mboweni.
Grant increases
Mboweni said that other grant increases included a R30 increase for old-age, disability and care-dependency grants to R1 890; a R30 increase in the war veterans grant to R1 910; a R10 increase in the child-support grant to R460; and a R10 increase for the foster-care grant to R1 050.
National Treasury deputy director general of public finance Mampho Modise said the budget managed to pull off grant increases in spite of the economic pressure and much-needed fiscal consolidation.
“When we looked at the overall fiscal consolidation, we could not protect the social grant. We did the best we could, but the consolidation we needed was more than we could cope with to protect the grants,” said Modise.
Right after Modise responded to media queries, Mboweni interjected to emphasise that government should not be sorry for facing the same economic pressures that governments around the world are also experiencing and delivering relief in spite of it.
“There is no need to be apologetic about it. There is no social contract to say there must be a certain increase each year. The allocations we made are what we could afford. Social services occupy 56% of the allocations, which is substantial in a country like ours,” said Mboweni.

US golfer Tiger Woods was hospitalized Tuesday after a car crash in which his vehicle sustained “major damage,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department said.
Woods, the sole occupant, was removed from the wreckage by firefighters and paramedics, and suffered “multiple leg injuries,” his agent said in a statement to US media.
“He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support,” said Mark Steinberg.
Woods was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
The roll-over crash near Los Angeles did not involve any other vehicles. Television images showed the car lying on a patch of grass off the road, with its hood badly damaged.
Woods, one of the most successful golfers of all time, has won 15 major golf championships.
He recently underwent his fifth back surgery, and said he was uncertain if he will be able to play at the upcoming Masters, which he last won in 2019.
According to celebrity website TMZ, 45-year-old Woods was in the area for his annual Genesis Invitational golf tournament at the Riviera Country Club.
“We have been made aware of Tiger Woods’ car accident today,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement.
“We are awaiting further information when he comes out of surgery. On behalf of the PGA Tour and our players, Tiger is in our prayers and will have our full support as he recovers,” he added.
Skier Lindsey Vonn, Wood’s former girlfriend, tweeted: “Praying for TW right now.”
Woods made an astonishing comeback from a series of career-threatening injuries and personal problems to sensationally win the Masters in 2019, his first major title since the 2008 US Open.
He was one of the most revered athletes in the world when he became engulfed in scandal in late 2009.
Woods smashed his car into a tree and a fire hydrant outside his luxury Florida home, sparking a series of scandalous revelations that doomed his marriage and put his game in freefall.
He later divorced from his Swedish wife Elin Nordegren, with whom he has two children, after a cascade of women came forward to say they had affairs with the golfer, making him fodder for tabloids around the world.
Woods underwent four back surgeries between 2014 and 2017.
In May 2017, Woods was arrested near his Jupiter Island home in Florida after he was asleep at the wheel of his car in a traffic lane.
He said he had taken a mixture of prescription drugs and did not realize they would cause him to fall asleep.
Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving and was hit with a fine and community service.
He is the winner of 82 US PGA titles, level with Sam Snead for the all-time record.
Woods remains three major victories shy of the all-time record 18 won by Jack Nicklaus, but only four winners in major history have taken a title at an older age than Woods is now.
In 2000-2001, while aged just 25, Woods became the first man to hold the US Open, British Open, the USPGA and the Masters titles at the same time.
Law enforcement sources say Tiger Woods was traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control of the vehicle. The car rolled several times. We’ll continue to update this story: https://t.co/3RstqsOy4D
