<span style="font-weight: 400">Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced on Wednesday that </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Tiger Woods</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> won't face criminal charges related to his single-car rollover crash Tuesday that left him hospitalized with multiple leg fractures. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Investigators will check the car's black box to gain information about speed, but no criminal charges are expected. Villanueva confirmed the conclusion from a responding officer that there was "no evidence of impairment" in a video conference with reporters on Wednesday.</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400">"This is what it is, an accident," </span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Villanueva said</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400">. ... "There was no evidence of any impairment whatsoever. He was lucid, no odor of alcohol, no evidence of any medication, narcotics or anything like that that would bring that into question."</span></i>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400">Asked if Woods might face reckless driving charges, Villanueva said no. </span></i>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400">"This is purely an accident," Villanueva reiterated.</span></i>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400">The cause of the accident remains under investigation. Villanueva said that investigators hope to determine the speed of Woods' vehicle prior to the collision and couldn't rule out at this point if Woods was considered a distracted driver. </span></i>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400">Distracted driving would be considered an infraction rather than a criminal charge.</span></i>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400">"Reckless driving is actually more than an infraction," Villanueva said. "That's a misdemeanor crime that has a lot of elements attached to it. This is nothing like that."</span></i>
