ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—The Florida Highway Patrol was flooded with e-mailscriticizing their handling of the investigation of the crash involving golferTiger Woods that led to him admitting to extramarital affairs.

A review by the Orlando Sentinel found that the highway patrol and itsumbrella agency, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles,got more than 400 e-mails in the days after the November crash outside Woods’home near Orlando.
