Martin County authorities said Woods was attempting to pass a truck on a two-lane road when he swerved to avoid a collision, but clipped the back of the truck’s trailer.
Woods’ car then rolled onto its side, where he was able to crawl out of the passenger side of the vehicle.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was not injured but showed signs of impairment at the scene and was arrested with DUI.
The sheriff noted that he believed Woods to be impaired by medication.
Woods was released from custody on bail late Friday hours after the crash.

Friday’s crash comes as the 15-time major champion has been working toward a return to competitive golf after suffering an Achilles injury last year. He had just recently competed for the first time in several months at Tuesday’s TGL finals.
In February 2021, Woods suffered significant leg injuries in a crash in Southern California. His vehicle rolled several times and left him trapped in the car.
