Tiger Was Driving 84 MPH In 45 MPH Zone Before Crash, Inadvertently Pressed Accelerator

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has confirmed that speed was the primary cause of the crash that injured Tiger Woods in Rancho Palos Verdes. Villanueva says the vehicle Woods was driving was traveling at 84- 87 mph when it initially crashed into a median, then 75 mph when it struck a tree alongside Hawthorne Boulevard. According to the Los Angeles Times, that stretch of road is a 45 mph zone.
Sheriff’s officials said they believe golfer Tiger Woods inadvertently pressed the accelerator instead of the brake on the SUV he was driving when it crashed in Rancho Palos Verdes on Feb. 23. Villanueva said no citations have been issued, no blood drawn and there were no signs of any impairment of Woods. The department also did not obtain any phone records to determine if Woods was using his cell phone at the time. He called any idea that Woods received special treatment “absolutely false.”
“Without the signs of impairment,” said the sheriff, “we don’t get to the point where we can author a search warrant and develop probable cause to execute that search warrant.” In response the allegations based on Woods’ prior history of intoxicated driving, Villanueva maintained that prior history “does not give you probable cause."

“I thought I smelled alcohol” does, though.

Inadvertently Pressed Accelerator
Everyone makes driving mistakes, but accidentally going 40 over the speed limit is not one you often see in drivers who weren't distracted or impaired

How does that make any sense? Are they saying that the reason he was going so fast was that he inadvertently hit the accelerator? You don’t inadvertently increase your speed by 30+ mph.
Or are they saying he was purposely going about 80 and when he went to brake he accidentally hit the accelerator and didn’t slow down on a curve? It’s not very clear.
Also, I’ve never inadvertently hit the accelerator in my life. How does that even happen?

Damn she cute. Who dat?
Also. Accidentally hitting the accelerator rather than the brake sounds like the excuse of a teenage female on TikTok while driving.

Smells like substance abuse or suicide attempt.

I've done it once, but not for long enough to accelerate to over 80mph.
it's bullshite
You immediately pull your foot off... unless you're fricked up on pills.

Unless he lost conciousness before the wreck. Asleep at the wheel type situation.

I thought that had been ruled out.

I can't tell if the people reading it as he accidentally accelerated to the 80s are serious.
He was speeding on purpose, lost control and in the panic hit the gas instead of the break.

Dude needs to get a personal driver and just stop getting behind the wheel.

I’ve done this once before while in traffic. I immediately caught my mistake and fortunately I leave enough space between my car and the car ahead me for minor errors (in case they slam their brakes, or in this scenario I hit the wrong pedal).

I’m not buying it .. but It was a courtesy (Ie unfamiliar) vehicle.

Yea because I always accelerate 40+ the speed limit when I press the gas instead of the brake
They think people believe this?

No, I doubt anyone believes that ridiculous interpretation of the story. I find it hard to believe anyone could even comprehend the story in such a way.

That's how I read it. Was prob doing 65-70 on a steep downhill road then "lost control and in the panic hit the gas instead of the break" and hit the median at 84

Do you always struggle with reading comprehension? He’s saying that he was already hauling arse and when he lost/was losing control, hit the accelerator
