American professional golfer, Tiger Woods suffered serious injuries on both his legs after his car met with an accident and flipped over several times on Tuesday morning.
However, the golfer is now awake and is recovering from surgery, according to a statement posted early Wednesday on his official Twitter account.
He suffered serious leg injuries and was trapped. However, he was conscious when emergency responders reached the crash site.
Woods, 45, was driving shortly after 7 a.m. PT in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles, when the SUV he was driving crossed a median and went across two lanes of road before hitting a curb, hitting a tree and landing on its side off the roadway in the brush.
Informing about the accident and his recovery from surgery, the golfer shared an informatics image on Twitter.

A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy who was the first to arrive said he found Woods still in the driver’s seat, wearing his seatbelt, and that the golfer was able to tell him his name was Tiger.
Officials also confirmed that Woods did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The 15-time major champion was lucid and calm, but potentially in shock. He didn’t seem to be concerned with his injuries at the time of accident.
