Tiger Woods is arguably probably the most well-known skilled golfer in current historical past, however he is additionally well-known for a number of high-profile automobile crashes and arrests. Late final week Woods was concerned in one other automobile crash the place he was allegedly rushing in his Land Rover Vary Rover SV close to his dwelling in Jupiter Island, Florid. He clipped the deployed ramp of a parked flatbed tow truck and rolled the Rover on its facet. In a press release, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek mentioned that Woods was arrested on the scene underneath suspicion of driving underneath the affect of non-alcoholic substances.
In an NBC Sports activities broadcast relating to Woods’ newest crash on Saturday, the present by accident used a picture of Woods’ 2021 crash when he crashed a silver Genesis GV80 that then rolled down a mountainside in Southern California. In keeping with Golf.com, “Late within the broadcast, because the day’s remaining group was ending the 14th gap, lead play-by-play announcer Dan Hicks stepped in to set the document straight.”
To be honest, a crashed GV80 might be mistaken for a crashed Vary Rover
NBC apologized for the error however didn’t cite any explicit purpose for it. I think that one potential issue that led to using the previous crash footage is that the crashed-and-rolled Genesis GV80 might be mistaken for a rolled Vary Rover to the untrained eye. I wrote up the information article overlaying Woods’ newest crash late on Friday, and discovering fair-use pictures of the incident was a bit tough. It is occasions like these when being terribly educated about automobiles simply may turn out to be useful.
Thankfully for Woods, Friday’s crash was nowhere close to as critical as his 2021 Genesis GV80 crash. That accident occurred at a a lot greater pace, and ended up breaking quite a few bones in his legs and ft. Friday’s crash was a lot much less extreme, and resulted in no reported accidents. Woods ended up getting arrested and charged with DUI with property harm, and refusal to undergo a lawful urine check. That is his second DUI.
