I'm Scott Van Pelt, and we're with you for the next hour.

Tiger Woods, who sustained serious but non life threatening injuries, underwent surgery at Harbor U C L A medical Center after a single vehicle crash in Los Angeles, Los Angeles suburb.

I should say, on Tuesday morning, sources told ESPN that would sustained injuries to both lower legs.

According to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the crash required Tiger to be extricated from his heavily damaged vehicle.

Deputy Carlos Gonzalez was the first to arrive to the scene of the accident.

When I arrived on scene, Mr Woods was sitting in the driver's seat.

I made contact with him and I ensured that he was able to speak to me.

Um, at that time he seemed that as as though he was still calm and lucid, I made the determination that would be safer to wait for L.

A County fire to help remove him instead of trying to remove it myself.

Um, I kept Mr Woods calm until L.

A county fire arrived on scene.

What did you do to keep him calm?

Deputy?

I spoke to him, you know, as conversation can you share with us, please?

I asked him what his name was.

Hey told me his name was Tiger.

At that moment, I immediately recognized him.

Um, I asked him if he knew where he was.

Um what time of day?

Just to make sure he was oriented.

Hey.

Seemed as though he was lucid and, uh, and calm in my experience as a deputy who is traffic trained and worked traffic car.

I've seen many collisions.

The nature of his vehicle, the fact that he was wearing a seat belt, I would say that greatly increased the likelihood that it saved his life.

Is this the worst accident you've seen on that stretch?

I will say no, because I've been doing this for a while and I've seen fatal traffic collisions.

So I will say that it's very fortunate that Mr Woods, um, was able Thio come out of this alive.
