警长办公室说，伍兹是司机和唯一的乘客，也是唯一一辆涉案的车。
局长达里尔·奥斯本(Daryl Osby)在周二下午的新闻发布会上说，洛杉矶县消防局做出了回应，使用了哈利根工具和斧头解救了他。他通过挡风玻璃被救出，并被送往加州大学洛杉矶分校海港医疗中心。

维拉纽瓦在周二下午的新闻发布会上表示，翻车区域的事故“频率很高”。这辆车——一辆2021创世纪GV80中型SUV——是在离中间隔板几百英尺的地方发现的。警长说，没有打滑痕迹，汽车行驶的速度表明它的行驶速度“比正常速度更快”。
警长说，调查人员将确定分心驾驶是否是一个因素。他说，没有损伤的迹象。
维拉纽瓦说，这辆车撞上了中间的中间带，穿过对面的车道，然后撞上了路边和一棵树。还翻了好几次。他说，前端被“完全摧毁”，气囊已经展开。
“谢天谢地，内部或多或少完好无损，这给他提供了缓冲，以度过否则将是致命的碰撞，”维拉纽瓦说。

伍兹也系着安全带，当局称这可能也是他获救的原因之一。
“我见过致命的交通事故，所以我要说，伍兹先生能够摆脱这一切是非常幸运的，”第一个到达现场的卡洛斯·贡萨雷斯副警长告诉记者。
维拉纽瓦说，洛米塔警长站将进行交通调查，可能需要几周时间才能完成。
“当我到达现场时，伍兹先生正坐在驾驶座上，”冈萨雷斯说。“我和他取得了联系，我保证他能和我说话。那时，他似乎仍然平静而清醒。”
冈萨雷斯补充道，“我让伍兹保持冷静。...我问他叫什么名字。他告诉我他叫泰格，那一刻我立刻认出了他。”
伍兹撞车后发生了第二起事故——“人们在围观，”警长说——没有人受伤。

Tiger Woods 'calm,' 'lucid' when police arrived following rollover car crash in California
Golfing great Tiger Woods was seriously hurt in a rollover car crash in Southern California on Tuesday morning, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
The crash took place at about 7:12 a.m. on the border of Rolling Hills estates and Rancho Palos Verdes, the sheriff's office said.
Woods was the driver and only occupant, and the only car involved, the sheriff's office said.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded and used a Halligan tool and ax to extricate him, Chief Daryl Osby said during a press briefing Tuesday afternoon. He was extricated through a windshield and taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Woods was transported in serious condition, with injuries to both his legs, Osby said. Woods was conscious and able to communicate at the scene, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at the briefing. He was unable to stand on his own, authorities said.
Woods underwent surgery to treat the injuries to his legs, officials said.
The area of the rollover has a "high frequency" of accidents, Villanueva said during a press briefing Tuesday afternoon. The car -- a 2021 Genesis GV80 mid-size SUV -- was found several hundred feet away from the center divider. There were no skid marks, and the amount the car traveled indicates it was traveling at a "greater speed than normal," the sheriff said.
Investigators will be determining if distracted driving was a factor, the sheriff said. There was no evidence of impairment, he said.
The car hit the center median, crossed into the opposite lane and then hit the curb and a tree, Villanueva said. It also rolled over several times. The front end was "totally destroyed," and the airbag was deployed, he said.
"Thankfully, the interior was more or less intact, which kind of gave him the cushion to survive what otherwise would have been a fatal crash," Villanueva said.
Woods also was wearing a seatbelt, which authorities said may have also played a part in saving his life.
"I've seen fatal traffic collisions, so I will say it's very fortunate that Mr. Woods was able to come out of this," Deputy Carlos Gonzalez, who was the first unit on the scene, told reporters.
The Lomita Sheriff's Station will be conducting a traffic investigation, which could take several weeks to complete, Villanueva said.
"When I arrived on scene, Mr. Woods was seated in the driver's seat," Gonzalez said. "I made contact with him, and I ensured that he was able to speak to me. At that time, he seemed as though he was still calm and lucid."
Gonzalez added, "I kept Mr. Woods calm. ... I asked him what his name was. He told me his name was Tiger, and that moment I immediately recognized him."
There was a second accident following Woods' crash -- "People being lookie-loos," the sheriff said -- that had no injuries.
The PGA Tour 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."
Fellow golfing legend Jack Nicklaus tweeted, "We are deeply concerned. We want to offer him our heartfelt support and prayers at this difficult time. Please join us in wishing Tiger a successful surgery and all the best for a full recovery."
Woods is second all-time in major victories, with 15, behind only Nicklaus' 18 wins.
Former Presidents Barack Obama andDonald Trumpsent their well-wishes to Woods in the hours after the crash.
"[H]ere's to a speedy recovery for the GOAT of golf," Obama tweeted. "If we've learned anything over the years, it's to never count Tiger out."
Spokesman and adviser Jason Miller shared a message from Trump on Twitter, whichpermanently suspendedthe 45th president following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Get well soon, Tiger. You are a true champion!" Trump said in the statement.
Trump awarded Woodsthe Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019, and the two golfed together several times during his presidency.
Gold medal-winning skier Lindsey Vonn, who previously dated Woods, tweeted, "Praying for TW right now."
Woods hosted The Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles last week. He wasn't playing as he's been recovering from recent back surgery.
Former NBA player Dwyane Wadeposted photos to Instagram Tuesdayof him on a golf course with Woods on Monday.
