Law enforcement source tells me that as of right now, there is nothing “salacious” about the Tiger Woods crash. No charges pending. He went off an embankment and rolled and it is currently just an investigation for a bad traffic accident as of *right now*. @FOXLA
NEW: I’m told Tiger Woods was conscious and speaking to deputies when they arrived on scene. I’m also told Sheriff Alex Villanueva will be holding a press conference at the Lomita Sheriff’s station at 3pm. @FOXLA
L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva about to take the podium. @FOXLA 
NEW: L.A. Sheriff Alex Villanueva says deputies did not see any evidence of impairment w/ Tiger Woods when responding to the scene. Sheriff says this investigation will take “days to several weeks.” @FOXLA
L.A. County Fire Chief Daryl Osby says that the jaws of life were not used, but a prying tool and an axe were used. Tiger Woods was extricated with serious injuries to UCLA Harbor hospital, a trauma center. @FOXLA
Sheriff Alex Villanueva confirms that Tiger Woods was conscious and there was no evidence of any impairment at this point in time. Chief Osby also confirms that Woods was conscious. Blood was not drawn at the scene because no suspicion of impairment. Serious leg injuries. @FOXLA
Sheriff Villanueva says it does appear speed was a factor due to the vehicle ending up several hundred feet away from the median where the vehicle first crashed. Sheriff says Woods’ manager has asked them not to release any information about his current condition. @FOXLA
NEW: Deputy Gonzalez was the first deputy on scene and spoke to Woods. Was wearing seatbelt. Says he told him his name is Tiger, the was lucid & calm but unable to stand. Had to be put onto a backboard and then transported. Deputy Gonzalez’s body cam video was turned on. @FOXLA
