Woods was driving alone through a sweeping, downhill stretch of road through coastal suburbs of Los An- geles when his SUV struck a sign, crossed over a raised median and two oncoming lanes fl ipped several times before coming to rest on its side. Its airbags deployed. A sheriff’s deputy poked his head through a hole in the windshield to see Woods, still wearing his seatbelt, sit- ting in the driver’s seat. The crash caused “signifi cant” inju- ries to his right leg and he underwent what was described as a “long surgical procedure” at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
