Tiger Woods was lucky to be alive, they said, thanks to modern safety technology and a big dose of good luck. The good news — no, make that the BEST news — is that Woods survived after being pried Tuesday from the SUV he wrecked in Los Angeles.

The crash caused “significant” injuries to Woods' right leg, and he underwent what was described as a “long surgical procedure” at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Anish Mahajan, chief medical officer, said Woods shattered bones in his lower leg in multiple places.
