Tiger Woods charged with driving under influence after crash
Golf legend Tiger Woods was charged with driving under the influence after being involved in a single-vehicle crash in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. The incident occurred at approximately 7:12 a.m. on Hawthorne Boulevard, near Blackhorse Road, in Rolling Hills Estates.
Woods was the sole occupant of the vehicle, a Genesis GV80 SUV, which sustained significant damage. According to the police, the car rolled over, and Woods had to be extricated from the wreckage by firefighters and paramedics. He was then transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries, which were described as non-life-threatening.
Authorities reported that there was no evidence of impairment due to alcohol, but Woods showed signs of being under the influence of prescription medication or narcotics. The golf star cooperated with the police and was released from custody shortly after the incident. In a statement, Woods expressed his gratitude to the first responders and emphasized that the most important thing was that he was alive.
This is not the first time Woods has been involved in a driving incident. In 2009, he crashed his car outside his Florida home, leading to revelations about his extramarital affairs and a brief hiatus from golf. Woods has been in the process of recovering from a recent back surgery and had hoped to compete in the Masters Tournament in April.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and further details are awaited as authorities work to determine the circumstances that led to the incident.
