Bill Haas injured in fatal car crash in Los Angeles

Published

on

Bill Haas was involved in a fatal car crash in Pacific Palisades, Calif., site of the Genesis Open, Tuesday night.

The 35-year-old was riding in the passenger seat of a Ferrari driven by a member of the family with whom Haas is staying this week. According to LA County fire officials, the Ferrari collided with a BMW driven by a 50-year-old woman. Haas and the driver of the BMW were transported to a local hospital. The 71-year-old male driver of the Ferrari was pronounced dead on the scene.

The Ferrari also reportedly “clipped” a vehicle driven by actor Luke Wilson prior to the rollover. Wilson was not injured, per a police report.

Per PGATour.com, Bill Haas’ manager, Allen Hobbs of Players Group Management, released the following statement Wednesday morning.

“Last night in Pacific Palisades, California, Bill Haas was involved in a serious car accident in which the driver—a member of the family with whom Haas and his family were staying for the Genesis Open—was killed. While Bill escaped serious injuries and has been released from the hospital, he is understandably shaken up and—more importantly—his deepest condolences go out to the host family during this tragic and difficult time.“

“Bill will withdraw from the Genesis Open and plans to head home to Greenville to recover. He appreciates the support of friends, family and the golf world as a whole, and he has asked for privacy as he processes what has happened.“

Geoff Shackelford tweeted this video of the KTLA coverage of the crash.

Bill Haas’ father, Jay, spoke with Todd Lewis on Golf Channel’s morning drive earlier in the day, saying his son was “very fortunate.” Beyond swelling in one of his legs and pain, Haas sustained no serious injuries, according to his father.

      You know nothing about the accident nor the condition of the 71 year old man. Were you there?

        I know how to calculate risk. I know 71 years old is old. I know he was driving a ferrari. I know he hurt 2 other innocent people and damaged 2 other vehicles. I know he was hurt so badly that he died at the scene. 2 + 2 does not equal potato, cuck boy.

            Accelerated out of control and slid into oncoming traffic, hitting 2 cars. Do some homework and quit making excuses for viagra-man showing off. I have driven a Ferrari, 458 in Vegas specifically, and it is too much car for a 71 year-old, especially from distopia LA. Poor choice, Bill.

          I’m sure you know everything. 71 is not as old as you think. Ever driven in L.A.? Anything can happen. I’m not going to resort to name calling. Your response says it all we need to know about you.
