American professional golfer Tiger Woods has been charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after being involved in a car crash in Florida.
Woods was arrested and taken to jail after his vehicle rolled over following a collision with a trailer he was attempting to overtake. The incident happened on Friday in the town where the golfer lives.
No injuries were reported from the car crash. The driver of the other vehicle was also unhurt.
According to Sheriff John Budensiek, from the Martin County sheriff’s office in Florida, who spoke to reporters on Friday, Woods showed “signs of impairment” after the incident.
Sky Sports reported that Woods took a breathalyser test at the scene, which returned negative, but refused to submit a urine sample.
“The DUI investigators came to the scene and Mr Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. He did explain the injuries and surgeries that he’s had, and we did take that into account, but they did some in-depth roadside tests. When it was determined, he was placed under arrest and taken to the Martin County jail,” said Budensiek.
“At the Martin County jail, and even on scene, we were really not suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case and that proved to be true. Mr Woods did a breathalyser test with triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinary analysis test, he refused and so he has been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
The Sheriff further noted that the golfer was driving at high speed and his vehicle tipped to its side.
He will be kept in jail for at least eight hours before being eligible for release on bond. Woods has been involved in three previous car crashes
