JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods was involved in a vehicle crash on Tuesday morning that led to his arrest for driving under the influence.
Woods was driving on a residential roadway when his Land Rover struck a truck, causing his vehicle to roll onto its side. According to the Martin County Sheriff's Office, both Woods and the truck driver were unharmed.
Authorities reported that Woods exhibited signs of impairment at the scene. He had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and was sweating as deputies questioned him. A breathalyzer test returned no alcohol in his system, but Woods was found with hydrocodone pills in his pocket.
Woods, 50, pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled for arraignment on April 23. He has declined to comment through his legal representation and agency.
The crash resulted in approximately $5,000 damage to the truck. Witnesses helped Woods out of his vehicle, and he needed assistance exiting through the passenger side.
According to the arrest report, during a field sobriety test, Woods struggled to follow directions and displayed a limited range of motion due to prior medical issues, including multiple leg surgeries.
Woods was arrested at the scene, held for eight hours, and later released on bail.
Both the PGA Tour and Woods' camp have yet to issue comments regarding the incident.
