Tiger Woods showed signs of impairment and was arrested Friday at the scene of a car crash in which he struck another vehicle and rolled his Land Rover, authorities said.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was not injured. He was able to crawl out of the passenger side of his vehicle. He was believed to be impaired by medication, and was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Budensiek said.
The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island. Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-land road. The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck, but clipped the back end of the truck’s trailer. Woods’ car then rolled onto its driver’s side.
Woods’ manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message seeking information.
This was at least the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash, most recently in February 2021 when his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation.
