The crashed Tiger Woods SUV had a “black box.” Sheriff’s investigators have executed a device data search command.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has executed a search warrant for the SUV’s “black box” that Tiger Woods was driving when it crashed last week, CBS News confirmed. The story was first published by USA Today.

The department’s spokesman, MP James Nagao, said nothing more about the investigation into the fly-over crash in which the golf legend suffered serious injuries to his lower leg, ankle and foot that required lengthy surgery. emergency.

To obtain an order for the black box, USA Today noted, investigators must determine that there is a probable cause that it is a felony, even if it is only a felony felony.

But, the newspaper said, an assistant sheriff “downplayed the order as a regular part of his investigation. He said he did not consider it a criminal investigation, but a due diligence.”

Along these lines, Sheriff’s Deputy John Schloegl told USA Today: “We need to rebuild the traffic collision, if there is reckless driving, if there is someone on the cell phone or something similar. Let’s determine if there is there was a crime. If there was no crime, we closed the case and there was a regular traffic collision. “

USA Today also reported that the department decided it would not attempt to obtain an order for Woods’ blood, as it is trying to find out if he was “under the influence of the medication” at the time.

Schloegl said there was “no probable cause” to obtain such an order.

The day after the crash, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told a news conference, “We don’t contemplate any charges in this crash.”

While circling a curve on the road, Woods ’vehicle hit the median and drove to oncoming traffic, Villanueva said. The SUV then hit the curb and began to turn before stopping on an embankment about 30 feet from the road.

Villanueva said 45-year-old Woods could still be charged with driving violations according to what the traffic investigation uncovers, but said no reckless driving charges, a felony, were expected.

He had said earlier that there were no initial signs that Woods was deteriorating.

Woods ’SUV, a 2021 Genesis GV80, was the only vehicle involved in the crash. Photos and videos of the scene showed extensive damage to the front of the vehicle. Golf clubs and other personal items were removed from the site and a crane subsequently removed the crumpled SUV.

Doctors told CBS News they expected Woods to walk again, but health experts said the injuries will affect his game.
