Woods, 45, was driving shortly after 7 a.m. PT in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles, when the SUV he was using crossed a median and went across two lanes of road before hitting a curb, hitting a tree and landing on its side off the roadway in the brush. Live updates on Tiger Woods’ car crash

A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy who was the first to arrive said he found Woods still in the driver’s seat, wearing his seatbelt, and that the golfer was able to tell him his name was Tiger.

The 15-time major champion was lucid and calm, but potentially in shock, and didn’t seem to be concerned with his injuries at the time, Deputy Carlos Gonzalez said.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby told CNN’s John Berman that Woods was alert and oriented and was trying to “self-extricate” but he was stuck.

Firefighters used a pry bar and an ax to free the golfer, who this past weekend hosted a PGA Tour event in the area but didn’t play because of a recent back surgery.

They broke the windshield with the ax and used the bar to pry the seats and metal from around Woods’ legs, Osby said. 

They put Woods in a neck collar, attached leg splints and used a backboard to get him through the giant hole in the windshield to an ambulance. He went to the hospital in serious but stable condition with injuries to both legs, Osby said.

Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, said the golfer was in surgery with multiple injuries, according to Golf Digest.

Rapper Lil Uzi Vert already had facial tattoos and piercings, but now he appears to have a $24 million pink diamond decorating his forehead. 

Instagram videos posted by the musician himself, and by jeweler Elliot Eliantte, show the large stone. Representatives for Lil Uzi Vert and Eliantte did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

“Beauty is pain,” reads the caption on Lil Uzi Vert’s Instagram video.

“Beauty is pain,” reads the caption on Lil Uzi Vert’s Instagram video.

The rapper said he spent the past four years paying for the gem, which he said is between 10 and 11 carats, the New York Post reported. And when a fan told the musician to put the diamond in a ring instead, he responded, “If I lose the ring yeah U will make fun of me more than putting it in my forehead … And yes I do have insurance.”

Some fans told Lil Uzi Vert the stone looked off center, but in a video shared by HipHopDX, the rapper denied that. His response made it sound as if the gem is removable, like a piercing, rather than permanent.

“It’s in the middle,” he said. “I just got a long bar in it because I just got it pierced. When the swelling go down I’ll get a short bar so it won’t move. Y’all keep talking about it off because I got a long bar in it so it can move ’cause of the swelling. When it go down, it gonna be right though

In one of the most unnerving scenes in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, supervillain Thanos kills the android Vision by tearing the Mind Stone out of his forehead. That did not escape Twitter users who compared the rapper’s gem to Vision.

“Thanos coming for him any minute now,” joked one Twitter user.
