Florida (US), Nov.30 (ANI): A neighbour, who rushed to help Tiger Woods after he crashed his car into a fire hydrant, feared the golfer was dead, reports The Daily Star.

The drama of the situation was revealed in a tape of the emergency phone call.

In the 911 plea, made public by police last night, - the worried man said Woods was unconscious and it was not clear if the star was still breathing.

Woods’ neighbour said: “I need an ambulance immediately. I have someone down outside my house. It’s a car accident. They’re laying on the ground. I have a neighbour, he hit the tree. I see him and he’s laying down.”

When the dispatcher asked if the person was unconscious, the neighbour replied: “Yes”.

When questioned if the golfer was still breathing, he replied: “I can’t tell.”

The neighbour did not mention Woods’ wife Elin in the call but a woman’s voice is heard in the background saying: “What happened?”

The golfer last night said Elin was the first on the scene.

Other reports have said that Elin had to smash the car windows to free her husband from the vehicle. (ANI)
