9-1-1 Caller: Tiger On The Ground...Snoring
/The Associated Press has obtained the police interview with Tiger Woods' neighbor Jarius Adams and his sister Kimberly Harris. In it we learn that when Adams came upon the scene to help Tiger's wife Elin, and before calling 911, Adams found Tiger on the ground with a cut on his lip and...snoring.
Golfweek has summarized some highlights from the interview and posts audio of the interview.
In the Orlando Sentinel, Anika Myers Palm and Willoughby Mariano note this about the interview:
In the 16-minute interview, Harris, who was visiting from Texas, said she was in a bedroom when she heard what she described as a "knocking sound" and saw the tail lights of a black truck through a window. She awakened Adams and asked him to go outside.
Adams saw Tiger Woods, unconscious and snoring, in the street on the passenger side of his 2009 Cadillac Escalade. Elin Woods was wearing a black jogging suit. Woods was wearing a blue shirt and khaki shorts. A golf cart was next to Tiger Woods' vehicle, with two golf clubs in it.
The golfer's wife begged for help.
"She said, 'Can you please help me? Can you please help me?' " Adams said.
"I said 'OK.' I immediately just ran back to the house, got the phone, called 911, ran back out the house again to go back out there to see if she needed any assistance," he said.
Tiger Woods was bleeding.
"Not a lot of blood … nothing on his shirt, nothing on his hands," Adams told investigators.
Also of note on the interview are questions from the interviewer of Harris and Adams about possible surveillance video of the crash and confirmation that Tiger's mom was the person heard in the 911 call asking "What happened?"
AP's Doug Ferguson writes:
Harris told troopers that Woods' mother, Kultida, and mother-in-law, Barbro Holmberg, were at the scene, but the AP could not confirm that.
A voice that strongly resembles Woods' mother is heard in the background during the 911 call saying loudly, "What happened?"
A spokeswoman for Holmberg, mother of Elin Nordegren, didn't know if she was in Florida when the accident happened.
"I don't know for sure, but I don't think so," spokeswoman Ewa Malmborg said. "I have not been informed about that. She was here again working on Monday again anyway."
In the FHP interview, a trooper asked Harris about the women and if they talked to anyone at the scene.
"The cops came, the Windermere cops came first, then the security guards came," Harris said. "And then it appears Mr. Woods' mom, and Tiger's wife's mom came out after the fact. I don't know if they heard the commotion, I don't if she, his wife, left and came back. But they walked across the grass and were outside as well."
