Tiger Woods, 51, who caused a dizzying accident in which a car overturned during high-speed driving, was arrested and released on charges of drunk and drug driving (DUI). Woods announced that he would suspend his activities for the time being and focus on treatment.

"Woods was imprisoned in the Martin County Detention Center for a terrible SUV crash in Florida and released on bail," the British newspaper The Sun reported on the 1st (Korea Standard Time).

According to media, the accident occurred on a road in Jupiter Island, north of Palm Beach, Florida. Photos from the scene showed Woods' black Land Rover vehicle lying completely overturned on the side of the road.

The dispatched police charged Woods with misdemeanor charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to legally measure. Woods was imprisoned for about eight hours in a detention center, and police later released a mugshot of him with bloodshot eyes (pictured to identify the offender).

Local sheriff John Budensic believes Woods caused the accident while trying to overtake a cleaning truck at a high speed over the speed limit of 30 mph in a residential area. Shortly after the vehicle overturned, Woods reportedly crawled out of the passenger's door on his own.

However, the police ruled out the possibility of alcohol involvement as Woods had a "0.000" level on his sobriety test. However, it is expected that it will be difficult to determine the exact cause of Woods, who showed signs of some kind of damage (such as drugs), refused a urine test.

Woods was cooperative with the investigation but tried to avoid making statements or providing evidence against him, Sheriff Budensik said. "He will be charged with refusing to be prosecuted, but he will not get conclusive results about what substances he was affected at the time of the accident."

Woods, who broke his silence after his arrest, expressed his feelings directly through his social media. He declared, "I know and understand the seriousness of my current situation," adding, "I am suspending my activities for the time being to receive treatment and focus on my health." "I will devote myself to taking the time I need to return to a healthier and stronger appearance, both personally and professionally. Thank you for the understanding and support of the fans, and I hope you respect the privacy of me and my family," he added.

U.S. President Donald Trump also expressed regret over the news of the accident. "Woods is a very close friend of mine and an amazing, great person," he said. "I'm so sorry he's having a hard time."

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Woods has been involved in a car accident. In 2021, he was seriously injured when his vehicle overturned while driving more than 80 miles in a 45-mile speed limit and suffered a leg amputation crisis. In 2017, he was arrested on DUI charges after being found asleep in a car with the engine turned on, and in 2009, his ex-wife Elin Nordegren broke windows with a golf club to rescue him after hitting a fire hydrant and a tree near his home.
