Tiger Woods<\/a> was arrested at the scene of a car crash on Friday in Florida on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Woods was showing signs of impairment, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities told media outlets that Woods’ Land Rover rolled \u200bover on a two-lane \u200broad near where Woods lives on Jupiter Island after the 50-year-old\u00a0had attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck,\u00a0but clipped the back end of the truck\u2019s trailer.<\/p>\n

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said the golf star and the person in the other vehicle were not injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What else do we know about Tiger Woods’ car crash?<\/h2>\n

The former world number one was able to\u00a0crawl\u00a0out of\u00a0the passenger door of his Land Rover before officers arrived.<\/p>\n

A breathalyzer test at Martin County Jail found no alcohol, with investigators believing \u200bWoods’\u00a0\u2060impairment was drug or \u2060medication-related.<\/p>\n

However, Woods refused a urine test. The 50-year-old was charged with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test, all misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Under Florida law, he must remain in custody for at least eight hours before being released on bond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Woods’ history of car accidents<\/h2>\n

This marks at least the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash.<\/p>\n

The most recent incident occurred on February 23, 2021, when his car veered off a coastal road in Los Angeles<\/a>, causing multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods later said he nearly lost his legs.<\/p>\n

In 2017, he also faced a DUI-related charge. Woods initially said he had taken a bad mix of painkillers, but later pleaded guilty to reckless driving<\/a>.<\/p>\n
