According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, the legendary golfer is currently facing multiple non-felony charges, including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusing to submit to a lawful test.
An Overtake Gone Wrong
The incident took place shortly after 2:00 p.m. local time in Jupiter Island, the same Florida town where Woods lives. Sheriff John Budensiek detailed that Woods was traveling at a “high speed” in a designated 30-mph zone when he attempted to overtake a truck hauling a pressure-washing trailer.
The driver of the truck reportedly noticed Woods’ Land Rover approaching rapidly and attempted to edge off the road to make room. Unfortunately, there simply wasn’t enough space. Woods collided with the trailer, causing his SUV to tip onto its driver’s side and scrape down the roadway for a long distance before finally coming to a stop.
Amazingly, neither Woods nor the driver of the truck sustained any injuries. By the time first responders arrived at the scene, Woods, who was the only one in the car at the time, had already managed to pull himself out of the wreckage by crawling through the passenger-side door.
Breathalyzer Passed, But a Urine Test Refused

Investigators talking with him at the crash site noted that the golfer appeared highly “lethargic” and exhibited clear signs of impairment.
Authorities administered standard roadside tests, including a breathalyzer test, which Woods passed with flying colors by blowing “triple zeros.” Police, however, strongly suspected he was under the influence of medication rather than alcohol. Taking his previous surgeries and injuries into account, they requested a formal urine analysis. Woods refused.
Because of his refusal to provide a sample, Woods was officially placed under arrest, transported to the Martin County jail, and hit with the trio of charges. As per standard legal processes, he was to remain in custody for a minimum of eight hours before being eligible for release on bond.
A Troubling History on the Road
Sadly, this is not the first time Woods has found himself climbing out of a wrecked vehicle. This incident is in fact his third high-profile car crash. His most recent accident was in February 2021, when a devastating rollover in Southern California left him with severe leg injuries that nearly ended his professional career.
