Upon police arrival, Woods exhibited signs of impairment, according to the sheriff.

Fortunately, Woods did not sustain any injuries from the incident.

He was seen departing from the Martin County Jail later that night, as reported by WPBF.

The investigation indicated that Woods was driving erratically prior to the crash.

The sheriff said just before 2 p.m., a pressure cleaner truck was heading north on South Beach Road and was preparing to turn into a driveway.

As it slowed to make the turn, the driver noticed a dark Land Rover speeding past in his mirror.

The driver attempted to move to the side of the road, but the narrow two-lane road lacked a shoulder.

In an effort to avoid a collision, the Land Rover clipped the trailer, causing it to roll over on its side.

The driver of that Land Rover managed to escape, identified as Tiger Woods.

The sheriff noted that Woods was cooperative during the encounter, although he was, quote, not attempting to incriminate himself.

He was cautious in his statements.

However, when it came time to give a urine test for gel, he declined.

He also clarified that Woods was not under the influence of alcohol.

Woods took a breathalyzer test and registered zeros.

But when requested to do a urinalysis, he refused, leading to the DUI charge.

We are the sheriff's office, and while we acknowledge we arrested a prominent individual, the law applies to everyone.

If a law is broken, we will enforce it, reiterated the sheriff.

At 50 years old, Tiger Woods is attempting a comeback in golf after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon over a year ago and undergoing his seventh back surgery last year.

This is not Woods' first encounter with car accidents or DUI charges.

He was previously arrested for a DUI in 2017 and cited for careless driving in 2009.
