From ESPN News:

TIGER WOODS INJURED IN CAR ACCIDENT OUTSIDE HIS FLORIDA HOME THIS MORNING

Windermere police chief, Daniel Saylor: My two officers arrived at the scene and noticed Tiger Woods laying on the ground in front of his vehicle with his wife over him rendering first aid. My officers immediately exited their vehicles, went to Mr. Woods and began rendering first aid to him at that time.

Reporter: How did you get there?

Saylor: From what we understand, his wife came out of the house when she heard the accident, him hitting the fire hydrant, used a golf club, is what we were told, to break out the rear window to gain entrance to the vehicle, removed him from the vehicle, and laid him down on the street.

Dispatcher 1 [Orange County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher]: 911 what’s your emergency?

Caller: I have a neighbor, he hit the tree. And we came out here just to see what was going on. I see him and he’s laying down.

Dispatcher 2 [Orange County Fire Rescue dispatcher]: There was an auto accident?

Caller: An auto accident, yes.

Dispatcher 2: OK, is he outside or inside his car?

Dispatcher 2: Sir, your phone broke up. I heard inside. You there? Your phone broke up there. Can you repeat your phone number for me?

Dispatcher 2: Is he unconscious?

Caller: Yes.

Dispatcher 2: OK, are you able to tell if he’s breathing?

Caller: No, I can’t tell right now.

Dispatcher 2: OK. We do have help on the way. What color is his car, too?

Caller: It’s a black Escalade.

Background, woman yelling: WHAT HAPPENED?

Isleworth Golf & Country Club: There’s been some speculation [around the club] that since he doesn’t always sleep well, he might have been going to work out. It’s hard to tell at this point. He’s not the type to go out late and be irresponsible or anything like that.
