Windermere’s police chief, Daniel Saylor, said officers found Woods lying in the street and his wife, Elin, with him. “She was frantic, upset,” Saylor said in a briefing Friday night. “It was her husband laying on the ground.”
Woods had lacerations to his upper and lower lips, and he had blood in his mouth, Saylor said. Woods’s wife told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and “came out and broke the back window with a golf club,” Saylor said, adding that the front-door windows were not broken and that “the door was probably locked.”
Saylor added: “She supposedly got him out and laid him on the ground. He was in and out of consciousness when my guys got there.”
He said the officers treated Woods for 10 minutes until an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. Woods was conscious enough to speak, he said. “He was mumbling, but didn’t say anything coherent,” Saylor said.
The highway patrol incident report originally listed Woods’s condition as serious — a highway patrol spokesman told The Orlando Sentinel that that is customary when a patient is transported to a hospital — but Woods’s spokesman, Glenn Greenspan, issued a statement saying Woods was in good condition.
The highway patrol said that alcohol was not involved in the accident, although it remained under investigation and charges could be filed. CONTINUE READING...
