Tiger Woods was arrested in Florida on suspicion of DUI after a car crash on Friday near his home on Jupiter Island. The incident occurred when Woods' Land Rover clipped a truck, causing it to roll onto its side. While no significant injuries were reported, Woods showed signs of impairment, though a Breathalyzer test indicated no alcohol. He refused a urine test and was subsequently arrested. Woods was released on bail eight hours later, the minimum allowed under state law. This is Woods' second DUI arrest; he previously pleaded guilty to reckless driving in 2017 after being found asleep at the wheel due to a mix of painkillers.

He was released on bail eight hours later, the minimum allowed under state law, according to Budensiek.Woods, who was not injured in the crash, had been held separate from others at the jail, Budensiek said.He said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-lane road with a 48 kilometres per hour (30 miles per hour) speed limit. He said authorities could not determine how fast Woods was going.The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck, but clipped the back end of the truck’s trailer, Budensiek said. Woods’ car then rolled onto its driver’s side, and he crawled out.The sheriff said Woods was “cooperative, but he’s not trying to incriminate himself”.He said Woods has the right to refuse the urine test and that authorities “will never get definitive results with what he was impaired on”.It was the second time the 50-year-old Woods had been arrested for a DUI, not as a result of the influence of alcohol. He said he took a bad mix of painkillers when authorities found him in 2017 asleep behind the wheel of his car, the engine still running and its driver’s side damaged. Woods pleaded guilty then to reckless driving.
