Golf star Tiger Woods was arrested following a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida. According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, Woods was driving his Land Rover at a “high speed” when it clipped the trailer of a pressure-cleaning truck and flipped onto its side.
Woods was not injured and managed to climb out through the passenger-side window. The truck driver was also unharmed.
Authorities at the scene suspected impairment, but a breathalyzer test showed “triple zeroes,” indicating no alcohol in his system. However, Woods declined to take a urine test, which may prevent investigators from obtaining definitive results regarding possible substance use.
Woods was held for approximately eight hours at the Martin County jail. Legally, he could face charges including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to submit to a urine test.
South Florida defense attorney Robert Reiff suggests the case may be difficult to prove, stating that a DUI charge is unlikely to hold.
