Tiger Woods released on bail after DUI charge following car crash in Florida

Tiger Woods has been released on bail after being arrested and charges for driving under the influence after crashing his car in Florida.

The 50-year-old rolled his Land Rover after clipping a truck in Jupiter Island on Friday afternoon, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s office.

As well as his DUI charge, Woods was also charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Thankfully no one was hurt. Woods passed a breathalyser test but refused to take a urine test.

The 15-time major champion was kept in jail for eight hours – the minimum allowed under state law – before being released on bail.

In a statement, Sheriff John Budensiek said the crash happened after Woods allegedly attempted to overtake a pressure cleaner truck at a ‘high rate of speed’.

‘Mr Woods did exemplify signs of impairment’, he continued.

“They did several tests on him. He did explain the injuries and surgeries that he’s had and we did take that into account, but they did some in-depth roadside tests.

‘He has a right to refuse that [urine] test.

‘There is a statute which he will be charged with for refusing to take that test, but we will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash.’
