Tiger Woods Faces New DUI Charges After Florida Crash

0:00It's March 28. You're listening to Canada News today, AI-powered local news. Tiger Woods faces new driving charges after a crash near his Jupiter Island home in Florida. On Friday, his land rover hit another vehicle and rolled over. He showed signs of impairment at the scene, but a breathalyzer test came back negative. Woods refused a urine test, leading to misdemeanor charges for driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to testing. No one was hurt. This marks at least the fourth car incident for Woods over the years, and the second DUI related arrest. Back in 2017, police found him asleep at the wheel with the engine running after taking prescription painkillers. He pleaded guilty to reckless driving, completed a program, and got probation with the fine and community service. Meanwhile, Woods has dealt with serious crashes before. In February 2021, he rode his SUV at high speed in California, shattering bones in his right leg and ankle.

1:00Doctors considered amputation, but he recovered enough to return to golf the next year at the Masters. No charges came from that one. Earlier, in late 2009, Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home amid personal scandals. His then-wife used the golf club to smash a window to reach him. He had facial cuts, but recovered. Police continued to investigate the latest crash, as Woods navigates these ongoing challenges in his career and personal life.
