Tiger Woods has been taken to hospital following a car crash, says the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The police department said that it “responded to a single vehicle rollover” accident in which the “vehicle sustained major damage”.
Woods, 45, had to be “extricated from the wreck” in Los Angeles by firefighters and paramedics.
The 15-time golf major winner was then taken to a local hospital by ambulance for treatment for his injuries.
Woods, whose first name is Eldrick, was the sole occupant of the vehicle, the sheriff’s department said.
The crash occurred shortly before 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, officials said.
A sheriff’s department spokeswoman said Woods’ representatives would address his injuries. A call to Woods’ agent went to voice mail.
This a developing story.
