Tiger Woods Faces Two Charges: DUI and Careless Driving After Rollover Crash
Tiger Woods is facing two charges after his rollover accident and arrest on Friday. Police charged him with DUI and also cited him for careless driving in Martin County.
Tiger Woods is dealing with two separate charges following his rollover car accident and arrest last Friday. Police filed a DUI charge and also cited the golf legend for careless driving in Martin County.
The careless driving ticket was filed on Thursday, adding to Woods' legal problems from the crash. Details about what led to the rollover accident are still emerging.
This isn't Woods' first run-in with careless driving charges. In November 2009, Woods crashed near Orlando after pulling out of his driveway early one morning. He hit a fire hydrant and then a tree. Woods told Florida State Police the crash was his fault, and officers cited him for careless driving.
Woods has faced legal troubles before related to driving incidents. His previous case included 12 months of probation with required treatment, DUI school, 50 hours of community service, and random drug and alcohol testing.
This adds to Woods' legal troubles and could affect his golf career and endorsements. The multiple charges suggest the crash was more serious than a simple accident.
Woods will need to appear in court to face both charges. More details about the crash may emerge as the case moves forward.
