“When it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test in the crash,” Budensiek said.
Neither the athlete nor the driver of the other vehicle was injured, but the Sheriff did note that the accident “could have been a lot worse.”
President Donald Trump called Woods’ a “very close friend” while addressing the accident, adding, “He’s got some difficulty, there was an accident, and that’s all I know. He’s an amazing person, amazing man, but, uh, some difficulty.”
