A photo from the scene of the crash showed one vehicle sideways on the road and authorities present at the location.
Another photo was more zoomed in and showed the crash site from the same angle. However, it appeared that with a loading truck and other vehicles on the road, the stretch might have been closed off to public access for the time being.
Martin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident but a cause for the accident has not yet been provided. Amid this, fans have flocked to Woods’ social media accounts to express concerns for the golfer.
Tiger Woods X and Instagram accounts in focus after accident
Woods posted the same thing on both Instagram and X days before the crash. It was a promotion for a line of golfing wear. “A legacy unlike any other,” the company wrote, sharing a clip of Woods.
Many of the golfer’s fans flocked to the comment section after the accident to express their concerns.
“I think you need a self driving @Tesla Tiger,” one remarked. Another added “Can you please stop getting in drunk accidents?”. Yet another added “prayers my guy.”
One person also chipped in wishing for a quick recovery and said “hope you’re ok,” attaching a tiger emoticon, and continued “Speedy recovery.”
On Instagram too, Woods’ post saw comments like “buddy needs to quit driving.” One person wrote a lengthy remark saying “Praying for you in the mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! All praise and honor and glory to God: the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Person of the Holy Spirit! – forever and ever! Amen! Jesus Christ says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to ME all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
Yet another wrote in all caps, about an hour back – as of the time of writing – “PLEASE BE OKAY TIGER”.
