Golf legend Tiger Woods was reportedly arrested and charged Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence after he was involved in a rollover crash in Florida.

Martin County sheriff John Budensiek told reporters that Woods was driving his Land Rover when it overturned after attempting to overtake a truck on a narrow two-lane road near his residence on Jupiter Island. No injuries were reported.

The sheriff claimed the truck was slowing down to turn into a driveway at the time of the incident, which was around 2 p.m. Eastern, and Woods crashed into the vehicle at a "high rate of speed" despite the road's 30 miles per hour limit.

Investigators said Woods showed signs of impairment, but a breathalyzer did not detect any alcohol in the golf star's system. However, investigators believe drugs could be behind the impairment and Woods was charged with a DUI after he declined to submit to a urinalysis test, according to The Guardian.

The charge comes after Woods was arrested in 2017 on a DUI charge after Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of a damaged vehicle. He pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
