MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Golfing icon Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a rollover crash on Jupiter Island around 2 p.m. Friday, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office.
The crash occurred at 281 South Beach Road, near Woods' residence. Deputies reported that a pickup truck pulling a pressure-cleaner trailer collided with Woods' Range Rover, which was found on its side.
According to authorities, the truck driver attempted to pull into a driveway when he noticed Woods' vehicle approaching at a high speed. The driver swerved to avoid a collision but clipped the trailer, causing Woods' vehicle to roll.
Woods was alone in the vehicle and managed to exit through the passenger side door. It remains unclear if he was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident. Authorities stated that Woods exhibited signs of impairment, prompting DUI investigators to conduct field sobriety tests.
Deputies indicated that Woods complied with a breathalyzer test, yielding “triple zeroes,” but refused a urine test. He has been charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
Investigators do not believe alcohol was involved but suspect potential impairment from medication or drugs. No definitive results will confirm the substance affecting Woods at the time of the crash.
Neither Woods nor the truck driver sustained injuries. Woods will remain in Martin County Jail for a minimum of eight hours per Florida DUI protocols. There were no substances found in his vehicle following the incident.
