The Los Angeles County sheriff says detectives have determined what caused Tiger Woods to crash his SUV last month in Southern California but would not release details Wednesday, citing unspecified privacy concerns for the golf star. The claim by LASD chief Alex Villanueva that his deputies needed permission from Woods to reveal the findings of their investigation struck legal observers as odd. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has wrapped up its investigation into the February 23 crash that left golf superstar Tiger Woods severely injured. Woods suffered serious injuries in the crash when he struck a raised median at around 7am in Rolling Hills Estates, just outside of Los Angeles. But Villanueva claimed investigators need permission from Woods - who previously named his yacht 'Privacy' - to release information about the crash.
