Golf superstar Tiger Woods was arrested following a “rollover” crash on Friday. 
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office said the incident occurred around 2 p.m. in Jupiter Island, Fla., just north of West Palm Beach, when Woods hit the back of a work vehicle. 
“The truck pulling a trailer was trying to slow down and pull over and Mr. 
Woods was overtaking him at a high rate of speed before he clipped the back end and rolled his vehicle over on the driver’s door,” according to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek. 
Police said during a 5 p.m. press conference that Woods showed signs of impairment. 
He passed a breathalyzer test, but was charged with DUI after refusing to take a urine test, which carries an additional charge. 
Authorities suspect the “lethargic” golfer was under the influence of medication. 
No drugs or alcohol were found in his vehicle. 
Cops said Woods exited his Land Rover by crawling out of its passenger-side window. 
No one else was in his vehicle. 
Neither Woods, 50, nor anyone in the truck he collided with were injured. 
Both vehicles were traveling in the same direction. 
“Had there been anyone traveling in the opposite direction, we would not be having a conversation (that) there were no injuries” Budensiek said. 
“This could’ve been a lot worse.” 
Authorities said the golfer was cooperative, but careful about incriminating himself. 
Both charges against him are misdemeanors. 
Budensiek said the famed golfer will be jailed until at least 11 p.m., though will not be placed among the jail’s general population. 
Woods was seriously injured in a 2021 crash that happened while he was driving his SUV in Southern California. 
He was also injured in a 2009 wreck outside his Florida home. 
In that crash, officers treated Woods for about 10 minutes until an ambulance arrived, according to ESPN. 
Police said the golfer’s then-wife, Elin Nordegren, smashed out the back window of Woods' SUV to help him out of the vehicle.
