LOS ANGELES (AP) – Authorities say golf star Tiger Woods car crash was purely an accident, although they are waiting to see if a black box that is included in some SUV’s can shed any light on the crash, if his vehicle was equipped with one.  Woods was seriously injured when his SUV crashed into a median and rolled over several times on a steep road in suburban Los Angeles. Harbor-UCLA Medical Center’s chief medical officer says Woods shattered tibia and fibula bones on his right leg in multiple locations, with additional injuries in the ankle and foot. A statement on his Twitter account says he was awake, responsive and recovering.  Authorities had to extricate Woods through the front windshield. They say he’s fortunate to be alive.  The accident left him with a shattered ankle and multiple broken bones in his leg. The injuries were repaired with rods, pins and screws.  Woods is 45 and had back surgery back in December. The crash happened on a sweeping, downhill stretch of road.
