Celebrities including Jada Pinkett Smith and Cher have shared messages of support after Tiger Woods was injured in a road accident in Los Angeles.
The golf star, 45, suffered multiple leg injuries after the car rolled over and crashed on Tuesday morning.
He had to be cut from the vehicle with the “jaws of life” tools, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said, but no other cars were involved in the incident.
Actress and talk show host Pinkett Smith, 49, who had been playing golf with Woods the day before as part of a promotional project, shared a message on Twitter.
