US golfer arrested in relation to rollover crash in Florida that did not cause any significant injuries.
Tiger Woods was released on bail late on Friday, hours after his Land Rover clipped a truck, rolled onto its side and the golfer was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, officials said.
Woods had been travelling at “high speeds” on a residential road and, after the crash, showed “signs of impairment”, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said, adding that investigators believe he had taken some kind of medication or drug.
He described Woods as lethargic and said he agreed to a Breathalyser test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and was arrested.
The crash occurred just before 2pm (18:00 GMT), not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island.
Woods was booked at the county jail in Stuart at about 3pm. He was released on bail eight hours later, the minimum allowed under state law, according to Budensiek.
