Golf great Tiger Woods suffers serious leg injuries in car wreck
13 Sept 21:43Key points summarised by AI
Golfing legend Tiger Woods was hospitalized with severe leg injuries after his car swerved off a road and rolled down a steep hillside in Los Angeles.
Woods underwent surgery for "multiple leg injuries," described as serious but not life-threatening, and was conscious and communicative when rescue personnel arrived.
Authorities found no evidence of impairment, though the vehicle was likely traveling at a higher speed on a stretch of road known for frequent accidents.
The incident's long-term impact on the 45-year-old's illustrious career, which has seen previous injuries and a recent fifth back surgery, remains uncertain.

Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow advises Thai nationals in Europe to avoid protest areas and reconsider non-essential travel, citing widespread unrest in countries like France, Italy, and Spain.
The warning comes as demonstrations escalate, with some turning violent, prompting concerns for safety and leading to an emergency Cabinet meeting in Italy and a proposed postponement of diplomatic talks.
Thai embassies and the Department of Consular Affairs issue advisories, urging citizens to monitor local developments, follow official announcements, and register their travel details for assistance, while emphasizing that no Thais have been directly affected yet.
