Overall, Gonzalez described the accident as “traumatic in many ways.”
“I think there was a lot of energy, obviously, that went into the speeds that made the vehicle travel the distance that it did, the fact that it rolled, the injuries that Mr. Woods sustained,” he added. “I’ve seen collisions that didn’t look as serious, where the occupants were injured much more severely. I think that’s just a testament to the fact that he was wearing a seat belt, the air bags worked as intended, and modern vehicles are much more safe than they ever used to be.”
Today, he just hopes Woods, who recently underwent his fifth back surgery, is OK. “You know, I have a lot of sympathy for Mr. Woods because I’m sure he is going through something very traumatic,” Gonzalez said. “I’m sure he’s going through a lot of pain. So, you know, I’m hoping for a speedy recovery for him.”
