So just before 2 p.m.
today, the Jupiter Island Police Department, which is where we currently are, received a call of a rollover crash about two and a half miles from where we are.
The Jupiter Island Police Department responded out there and found a pickup truck pulling a pressure cleaner trailer and a Land Rover, which was rolled over on the driver's door.
And we're going to provide you photos of that.
The investigation started and initially right off the top, it did appear that the driver of the Land Rover might be impaired.
And at that point, the chief viewing of Jupiter Island Police Department called me from Martin County Sheriff's Office and asked for our assistance.
It wasn't that the Jupiter Island Police Department isn't fully capable of doing these types of investigations, but quite frankly, the Sheriff's Office has a lot more repetitions in these traffic crashes and these types of investigations.
Our investigation revealed as follows.
Shortly again before two, the pressure cleaner truck, truck pulling a trailer, a small trailer, was northbound on South Beach Road and was pulling kind of to turn into a driveway.
It was slowing down, starting to turn into a driveway, and the driver of that vehicle looked in his mirror and saw a Land Rover, a dark colored Land Rover, overtaking him at high speeds, and I don't know those speeds.
The Land Rover kept overtaking him.
He saw it coming, so he tried to edge off to the side of the road, but this is a small two-lane road, and there was no shoulder for this pressure cleaner gentleman to get off the side of the road.
As he was trying to move to the side of the road, the Land Rover overtook him at the last minute, swerved to avoid a collision, but clipped the back end of the trailer of the pressure cleaner apparatus.
listed to the side and then rolled on the driver's door north past the truck that had just avoided the crash with.
The individual driving that Land Rover was able to crawl out the passenger door of the car and was identified to be Mr. Tiger Woods.
Our DUI investigators came to the scene here, and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment.
They did several tests on him.
Of course, he did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had.
We did take that into account.
But they did do some in-depth roadside tests.
