Golf

Atwal investigated

PGA Tour player Arjun Atwal is under investigation after police said what appeared to be a high-speed street race ended in a fatal crash near Orlando, Fla.

Atwal was not injured in the accident Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The other driver, John Noah Park, 48, died at a hospital, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Kim Miller said.

No charges have been filed against Atwal, the first player from India on the PGA Tour.

“At a minimum, he is facing a charge of engaging in a street race,” Miller said. “We have to see if this crash rises to the level of any other charges.”

Miller said troopers will use skid marks and other evidence to reconstruct the crash before filing any charges. The investigation could take up to two months.
