FLORIDA – Professional golfer Tiger Woods was arrested in Florida in connection with a road traffic incident involving alleged property damage, the local media reported on Saturday. The authorities said Woods is accused of causing damage following a collision involving his vehicle and a truck. He is also alleged to have failed to comply with required post-incident tests. The law enforcement officials stated that the incident occurred when Woods’ vehicle attempted to overtake a truck at high speed, resulting in a collision with a trailer being towed by the truck. A local sheriff confirmed that no injuries were reported in the incident. The officials further reported that Woods was driving a dark-colored Land Rover at high speed when the collision took place. The truck driver said he was turning into a driveway on a two-lane road when he noticed Woods approaching from behind and attempting to pass at the last moment. In an effort to avoid a serious crash, the driver swerved, but contact still occurred, causing Woods’ SUV to roll onto its side. He was able to exit the vehicle through a window. The local authorities added that the initial on-scene assessments did not indicate alcohol impairment, although investigators suggested the possibility of medication or other substances. Woods reportedly cooperated with a breath test, and no medications were found inside his vehicle. However, the details regarding formal charges and any subsequent legal proceedings have not yet been disclosed. Stars beat Challengers in Women’s T20 Tournament Opener
