Tiger Woods allegedly told a Florida sheriff’s deputy that he was distracted by his cellphone before he clipped the back of a trailer in a rollover Friday, according to an incident report that said the golfer showed “signs of impairment” and had opioid pain pills in his pocket.
Woods, 50, was arrested and charged Friday with driving under the influence after authorities said he struck the back of a trailer while a truck was turning into a driveway in Jupiter Island. The driver of the truck told authorities that he was starting to make the turn when he looked in his mirror and saw Woods traveling “at high speeds,” the sheriff’s office said.
Woods’ Land Rover “overtook” the truck at the last minute, tried to swerve to avoid a crash but hit the trailer, according to officials. Video from the scene showed the golfer’s SUV lying on its side.
