Yes, Unfortunately I happened to listen to the radio while driving this afternoon. The amount of time focused on this one "breaking news" item eventually forced me back to music. I stuck it out as long as I could.
The kicker was when reports finally came in that he was in "good" condition. The radio host immediately began to ask an expert (who knew there were "tiger woods experts" on call?) what it might mean if he doesn't play in the tournament next week (note the "if" in that sentence to understand the true inanity of the discussion ;). At that point I knew it was a lost cause.
Reminds me very much of when I once watched the local news in which the entire news team had been pre-positioned throughout the viewing region to report on a snowstorm that fizzled. By the 20-minute mark, they were reduced to showing puddles of water around a stack of salt while the anchor eagerly analyzed the "real problem," which was slick spots caused by the salt on the roads causing the flurries to melt and dampening the roadways.
I am not kidding. It was the funniest news broadcast I've ever seen. A comedy show couldn't have written a better script.

I don't entirely understand how a person could crash their car so hard right outside their house
