SPORTS NEWS
Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to speak to state troopers for the second straight day. The couple asked that police return today to try to clear up questions about how he crashed his SUV into a neighbor's tree.
The Florida Highway Patrol say the announcement that the world's No. 1 golfer and his wife, Elin, could not speak Saturday to authorities came from his agent.
Troopers previously tried to talk to Woods on Friday afternoon. The patrol said his wife told troopers Woods was sleeping, and they agreed to return the next day.
A Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman says ``it is unusual that we haven't gotten a statement'' from the world's top golfer. The investigation is ongoing.
Woods smashed his Cadillac near his $2.4 million mansion at 2:25 a.m. Friday and was briefly hospitalized, police said. His lips were cut and police say he was treated at a local hospital and released.
A coroner says Eastern Illinois University's assistant football coach has died following a car crash that happened as he returned home from a game.
The team had a playoff game against Southern Illinois University earlier Saturday. Effingham County coroner Leigh Hammer confirmed early Sunday morning that offensive line coach Jeff Hoover was killed in the accident.
Athletics spokesman Rich Moser had said a coach, staff member and family had been traveling back home from the game when the accident happened. He says the car apparently swerved to avoid a deer. It wasn't immediately clear if anyone else was injured.
Hoover was in his third season as Eastern Illinois' offensive line coach. He had previously worked at Portland State University.
