Tiger Woods accident: All you need to know
Woods was involved in an accident when he was driving his Land Rover at a high speed on a two-lane road near his home in Jupiter Island. The crash occurred as Woods tried to overtake a truck which was pulling a trailer.
His vehicle clipped the trailer, which caused it to overturn and land on the driver's side. Woods managed to crawl out of the passenger's side before authorities arrived.
Reports also suggested that Woods might be released after serving the mandatory holding period of eight hours under state law.
According to law enforcement officials, Woods showed signs of impairment when they arrived on scene. This prompted a DUI investigation. A breathalyzer test was taken after Woods was brought in. However, it confirmed that there was no alcohol in his system.
Naturally, the impairment was linked to possible use of drugs or medication. Woods' refusal to submit a urine sample only added fuel to fire, and led to an additional charge against him. The pro golfer is now charged with Driving under the influence (DUI), Property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
Notably, reports have clarified that Woods' girlfriend Vanessa Trump and her daughter, Kai, who happens to be President Donald Trump's granddaughter, were not present in the car at the time of the accident.
