As Tiger woods continues his recovery from a serious car crash that left him with major injuries, News 12 reached out to Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo, a Connecticut resident, for his thoughts on the ordeal.
The
golf legend was driving alone through a sweeping, downhill stretch of road
through coastal suburbs of Los Angeles when his SUV struck a sign, crossed over
a raised median and two oncoming lanes flipped several times before coming to
rest on its side. Its airbags deployed. Doctors say Woods shattered his
tibia and fibula bones in his right leg in several spots. They say he had a rod
placed in his leg and screws and pins in his ankle.
"The
bottom line is he was probably speeding and I would think that has something to
do with it,” said Russo. “I don't know what this means for his career. I
would never say no to Tiger as far as bouncing back. You know, he
probably wasn't going to play a lot early in the year anyway."
Woods has had several back surgeries and indicated Sunday that
he probably wasn't going to play in the Masters.
