Woods had to be extricated from the vehicle with the “jaws of life” tools, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
Woods was taken to a hospital with injuries, and the vehicle “sustained major damage,” the sheriff’s department said.
Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, told Golf Digest in a statement that Woods “suffered multiple leg injuries” and is in surgery.
A KABC-TV helicopter over the scene of Woods’ accident showed a car on its side with the front end heavily damaged. Air bags appeared to be deployed. The wreckage appeared to be just off the side of a road on a hillside.
