His Hyundai Genesis SUV was the only vehicle involved in the crash, which occurred on a downhill stretch of Hawthorne Boulevard that is known to be dangerous. While the investigation is ongoing, Sheriff Alex Villanueva has already said he doesn't expect Woods to face any charges.



Woods was in Los Angeles at the time after serving as the host of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where he presented the trophy.
