The first PGA player from India is facing charges of street racing and possibly vehicular manslaughter after one person was killed in a Florida car crash. Arjun Atwal — whose career PGA winnings total $2,029,20 — reportedly got into a street race just outside Disneyworld. Atwal caused the other car to crash and the driver was killed. A highway trooper says skidmarks will be used to determine how fast the drivers were actually going:

“Witnesses tell us they were engaged in a street race. They estimated speeds at or about 100 mph. Park’s vehicle hit a tree and basically just shattered. Part of the axle was found in the tree. It was a very violent crash.”

Arjun Atwal has never won a tour event, but has a second place. Here’s his PGA profile: Arjun Atwal.
