A day later, he announced that the crash was "purely an accident" and said there had been no need to bring in a drug-recognition expert to evaluate the 45-year-old Woods for impairment. "LASD is not releasing any further information at this time," the sheriff’s department told USA Today Sports in a statement. "He was lucid, no odor of alcohol, no evidence of any medication, narcotics or anything like that would bring that into question. The accident reconstructionist agreed that the fact that Woods twice told deputies he couldn’t remember driving at all "absolutely" is a clue of impairment. During emergency surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Woods had a rod inserted into his tibia and pins and screws in his foot and ankle.
