Newly released bodycam footage showed the immediate aftermath of the Tiger Woods’ car crash in Florida last week that resulted in the golf legend’s shocking DUI arrest.
Woods was involved in a two-vehicle crash in which his car rolled onto its driver’s side, resulting in him having to escape out of the passenger door.
In the video, Woods, on a knee, told an officer that he was looking “down on my phone, and all of a sudden, boom.”
The officer then appeared to pat down his back before telling Woods a medic would “check you out.” The officer said he “didn’t feel anything” on Woods’ back. The officer then spoke to a bystander who said Woods “hit the trailer.” The officer then went to the driver who was hit, who said he was fine.
“I was getting ready to turn,” the other driver said. “And he was coming fast. I don’t think he was looking, that’s the thing.”
The driver said Woods hit the trailer that was attached to the back of his vehicle. The officer then directed cars on the road to turn around, as they were set to close the road.
Woods was arrested for driving under the influence, as police said he showed signs of impairment. Woods blew “triple-zeroes” on a breathalyzer, but two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket.

The 15-time major champion announced earlier this week that he would “seek treatment” after the crash.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” Woods said in a statement Tuesday posted to social media. “I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
Woods pleaded not guilty to DUI. He was also charged with property damage and refusal to submit to a test.
The crash came just days after Woods made his return to some aspect of competitive golf after rupturing his Achilles last year, as he played in the TGL finals on Monday. The crash occurred 13 days before the Masters, which Woods will now officially miss. It was not yet known if he would play, prior to the crash.
