Tigers first words revealed after crash in | Golf News

Recently launched police bodycam footage reveals the extreme moments immediately following Tiger Woods’ involvement in a two-vehicle rollover accident.

Around 2 p.m. ET last Friday, Woods was driving northbound on a two-lane street close to his Jupiter, Florida home when a pickup truck pulling a stress cleaner trailer started slowing down to flip into a driveway.

Local Sheriff John Budensiek reported that Woods — driving a Range Rover — was going too fast, which did not permit the pickup truck driver enough time to utterly clear the roadway. As the 15-time major winner tried a ultimate maneuver to move, he collided with the trailer and his vehicle rolled onto its facet.

After the influence, Woods was in a position to exit through the passenger door of his vehicle. When first responders reached the scene, he was requested to carry out a discipline sobriety check on the roadside.

In footage captured by one of the responding officers, Woods might be noticed describing how the crash occurred. “I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden, ‘Boom,'” he said while kneeling on a grass space.

The officer then put on a pair of gloves before analyzing Woods for any accidents. “I’m going to just take a look at it. Is this comfortable for you?” he requested while inserting his hand on the golfer’s shoulder.

Woods insisted he was unhurt, responding: “Yeah, I’m cool. I’m totally cool. I don’t feel anything out of the ordinary.” As a security precaution, the officer told Woods that he would need to be examined by a medical skilled. “We’re still going to have our medic come and check you out, alright?” he said.

The officer rapidly up to date another official on Woods’ condition, saying: “He’s okay, I just checked for anything on his back. I didn’t feel anything.”

After shifting away from Woods, the officer questioned what appeared to be a witness, asking, “Who hit him?” The particular person responded, “He hit the trailer. I don’t know.”

Another particular person, seemingly the driving force of the pickup truck that was struck, approached the officer and explained, “So he kept coming. And I tried to like pull into this driveway.

“I used to be preparing to flip in. He was coming fast. I do not suppose he was wanting, that’s the factor.”

The pickup driver confirmed he was uninjured as well, adding: “Yeah I’m positive, it hit the trailer. I do not know if I gotta take this tire — I do not even know if I can drive it out of right here.”

Woods was taken directly to a police station, where he was charged with three misdemeanors: DUI, property damage and refusing to submit to a urine test.

He was held in police custody for at least eight hours before a close buddy was allowed to post bail for him at roughly 11 p.m. local time.
