Golfer Tiger Woods has been charged with driving under the influence after a car crash in Florida, police say. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said the 15-time major champion had also been charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods, 50, had rolled his Land Rover vehicle after clipping a pressure cleaner truck on Jupiter Island on Friday. The golfer, who had to crawl out of the passenger side of his vehicle, passed a breathalyzer test after the crash but refused a urine test. Authorities also confirmed no-one sustained any injuries in the incident which took place on Beach Road just after 14:00 local time (about 19:00 GMT). Sheriff Budensiek told a news conference: The DUI investigators came to the scene and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. 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. Budensiek also remarked, Mr. Woods did a breathalyzer test with triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinary analysis test, he refused. Woods will be held for eight hours before being released on bond. The incident has attracted media attention, with notable figures such as former US President Donald Trump expressing concern for the golfer's well-being.
