Former world number one Tiger Woods was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence after his Land Rover rolled over on a two-lane road near his Jupiter Island home in Florida yesterday, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.
The 15-times major champion had been overtaking a work truck pulling a trailer at high speed when he clipped the back of the trailer, causing his vehicle to roll onto its driver’s side.
Woods, 50, crawled out of the passenger door before law enforcement officers arrived.
A breathalyser test at Martin County Jail returned no trace of alcohol, with investigators believing his impairment was drug or medication-related.
Woods refused to submit to a urine test, an offence that carries a separate charge under Florida law.
