Close-up pictures of the athlete’s crushed SUV shows just how lucky he is to be alive. The Jaws of Life had to be used to extricate him from the vehicle.
Reports say that Tiger was conscious and alert when emergency units arrived on scene. He was overheard asking one of the paramedics to make sure that his manager received his belongings.
The crash happened on the border of Rolling Hills Estates around 7:12 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

After Tiger was removed from the wreckage, he was air-lifted to the nearest hospital, where he had to immediately undergo surgery due to multiple injuries to his legs.
Other reports are stating that excessive speed may have been a factor the early morning crash.
