Elin was not Allowed to Ride in the Ambulance with Tiger

because the crew assumed Elin was a domestic violence victim.



Tiger Woods' wife was not allowed to ride in the ambulance with her bloodied husband on the night he crashed his car - because the crew assumed she was a victim of domestic violence, according to police records released Friday.

Elin Nordegren, the disgraced golfer's wife, also handed over two bottles of pain pills to state troopers after the Nov. 27 crash outside their swank Orlando home, the Florida Highway Patrol documents revealed for the first time.

The report shows a trooper asked Nordegren if her famous hubby had been drinking. She said that he had not, but added "that he had taken his medication earlier...The medication was Vicodin."

Woods has insisted there was no domestic violence on the night of the crash, and the records suggest that the ambulance crew may have been wrong to assume that Nordegren was a victim.

The report, written by a trooper who responded to the scene, notes that as the paramedics loaded Woods into an ambulance, "one of the crew stated that [Nordegren] could not go in ambulance because this was a domestic."

But the document also makes clear the trooper "never heard [Woods or Nordegren] make any such statement about domestic violence."

The hospital that treated Woods after the crash - his injuries appeared to be limited to a bloody lip - refused to release blood test results to investigators without a warrant, the records show.

The state attorney's office in Orlando also refused to request one, saying there wasn't enough probable cause that a crime had been committed.

In the end, Woods was fined $164 for careless driving - but his career was totalled. The incident exposed a string of extra-marital affairs, leading the top-ranked golfer to suspend his golf game.
