[image]The ambulance crew that responded after golfer Tiger
Woods crashed his SUV would not allow his wife to ride with
him to the hospital because they thought it was a case of
domestic violence, documents released Friday by the Florida
Highway Patrol show.
But a police officer who responded said he didn't know where
the crew got that information because he never heard it from
anyone at the scene.
The reports also show Woods' wife, Elin, turned over two
bottles of pain pills to troopers after the November 27 crash
outside the couple's suburban Orlando home.
Tiger Woods crashed his sport utility vehicle into a fire
hydrant at 2:30 a.m., and officers found him lying in the
street.
The SUV had a broken window and the couple told investigators
Elin Woods had broken it with a golf club so she could unlock
a door and pull him out. Tiger Woods has strenuously denied
his wife ever hit him.
The crash led to disclosures that he had affairs with several
women. The documents released Friday also show police tried
to get a subpoena for any blood samples that might have been
taken at the hospital, but the prosecutor's office denied the
request.
Woods was charged with careless driving and fined $164. He
has not played competitive golf since. He made a televised
apology to his wife, family and fans last month.
