Tiger Woods 'injured in car crash'

Tiger Woods has reportedly left hospital after being involved in a car accident.

The golfer's vehicle allegedly hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway in Florida. An inquiry is being held into the crash. Local news outlets said that Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital.

The reports also stated that alcohol was not involved in the incident. The motor's airbags did not go off, which suggests that it was travelling at less than 33mph.

Although Woods's condition was initially said to be "serious", the local mayor has now apparently claimed that the star suffered cuts to his face and has left hospital.

The story was first reported in the Orlando Sentinel, which quoted the Florida Highway Patrol.
