Woods was injured when a 2021 Genesis vehicle traveling on a steep stretch of highway hit a median in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles.. The vehicle invaded the opposite lanes and rolled several times. He suffered multiple fractures in the tibia and right fibula. It was necessary to stabilize these lesions with a rod.
