Tiger Woods in rollover crash
CNN
After being involved in a two-vehicle crash on Friday, Tiger Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Jupiter Island, Florida. Woods seen above, rolled his Land Rover during the incident. Woods was not injured in the crash and was able to climb out of the passenger side of the vehicle.
According to Martin County Sheriff John M. Budensiek at a news conference, Woods showed “signs of impairment” when officers reached the scene near Wood’s home. He went on to state, “A breathalyzer test did not detect any alcohol in his system, but Woods refused a urinalysis. That led to his arrest and his being taken to Martin County Jail, where he had to remain for at least eight hours.”
Budensiek stated, “the crash occurred when Woods, driving a Land Rover, tried to overtake a truck that was hauling a pressure cleaner trailer while headed northbound on South Beach Road. The truck’s driver was attempting to turn left on a two-lane road, saw the Land Rover coming from behind and tried to move off the road, but had nowhere to go. The Land Rover clipped the truck and rolled onto its side.”
“Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment,” Budensiek said. “They did several tests on him. He did explain the injuries and surgeries he had; we did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside tests, and when it was determined, he was taken under arrest and taken to the Martin County Jail.”
Woods was charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. All the charges are misdemeanors and Woods was released and later seen in the passenger seat of an SUV leaving the jail.

President Trump was asked by reporters to comment on the situation Friday, and stated “I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty, there was an accident and that’s all I know. Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man. But some difficulty.”
Three days prior to the accident, Woods made his return to golf by competing in the TGL finals in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Speculation had begun grow around Woods attempting to tee it up at the Masters which begins April 8th. Regardless if he plays, Woods was scheduled to be at Augusta National for the Masters to attend the Champion’s Dinner and the opening of The Patch, a short course designed by Woods at Augusta Municipal Golf Course.
