Woods\u2019 SUV flipped onto its side and slid to a stop, the golfer climbing out the passenger side.<\/p>\n
Authorities determined he had not been drinking alcohol but found that he appeared to be impaired and he was found with two pills containing hydrocodone, an opioid painkiller, in his pocket.<\/p>\n
Woods, who refused to take a urine analysis test, was charged with misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test and distracted driving.<\/p>\n
The 15-time major champion told officers at the scene that he had been looking at his phone and hadn\u2019t realised the truck and trailer had slowed in front of him.<\/p>\n
Woods, who has undergone multiple back operations and surgeries on severe leg injuries that he suffered in a 2021 California car crash, said in a statement days after the accident that he was \u201cstepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health\u201d.<\/p>\n
The court granted him permission to leave the country, and he is believed to have entered a treatment facility in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
