Tiger Wood's wife rescues golfer from smashed up car, Tiger Woods reacts after hitting a drive on the third hole in the first round of the Australian Masters golf tournament in Melbourne on Nov. 12, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. — The wife of golfing sensation Tiger Woods used a golf club to smash a window of his Cadillac Escalade before pulling him from the SUV after he crashed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his Florida home Friday morning, the mayor of Windermere, Fla., said.
In addition, a call report compiled by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and obtained by the Orlando Sentinel indicated Woods was unconscious but breathing when officers arrived. Woods was unconscious for about six minutes.
Elin Nordegren Woods was in the couple's home shortly before 2:30 a.m. ET Friday when she heard the accident. She broke one of the windows and freed her husband from the vehicle, Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn said.
Bruhn said Woods had cuts on his lips and blood in his mouth. Officers gave Woods first aid until medical personnel arrived.
Woods was transported from his home in the private golfing community of Isleworth to Health Central Hospital in nearby Ocoee. He was released from hospital later Friday.
The accident occurred when Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway and struck a fire hydrant and then a tree on his neighbour's property, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
It was not known whether Woods was wearing a seat belt. Alcohol was not considered a factor in the accident.
Police say the airbags in the Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle likely wasn't moving fast.
Troopers arrived at the Woods' home early Friday evening to talk to the golfer, Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said. Woods wife told them Woods was resting and asked them to return Saturday morning.
"People's health comes first," Montes said, noting that it is routine to agree to return to conduct an interview.
The sheriff's office would not identify who dialed 911, and emergency audio tapes were not available on Friday.
Quaalude was all upset about it .
The crash is under investigation, and charges were pending.
