Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn said he believed Woods had been released. "Basically it was facial lacerations, and as I'm understanding it, nothing that serious," Bruhn said.

If it is confirmed that Woods is already out of the hospital, it would indicate less serious injuries than earlier reported.

The Orlando Sentinel, citing the Florida Highway Patrol, said earlier that Woods' car struck a fire hydrant and a tree in Florida's Isleworth community, near Orlando. Woods, 33, was transported to a hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, the newspaper said, citing the FHP.
