US golf star Tiger Woods hurt in car crash
 American golf star Tiger Woods has been injured in a car crash outside his Florida home that took place in the early hours of Friday when his vehicle is reported to have ploughed into a fire hydrant and a tree.
Police are still waiting to speak to the star about the incident because they had not been able to so far because they had been told by his wife Elin that he was sleeping.
Elin Woods used a golf club to break the rear window of the car and pull her 33-year-old husband out of the car and he was then taken into hospital but released after being examined.
Florida Highway Patrol Sgt Kim Montes said two police officers had tried to contact Tiger Woods on Friday evening, but were told that he was sleeping so they agreed to try again on Saturday.
Chief Daniel Saylor of the Windermere Police Department is reported to have said: "He was in and out of consciousness with lacerations to his upper and lower lip, with a little bit of blood in his mouth, but he was conscious enough to be able to speak a little bit. According to my officers, it was not life-threatening injuries."
Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the accident.
