According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, the crash occurred around 2 p.m. near 281 Beach Road when Woods, driving a black Land Rover (or Genesis GV80 SUV in some reports) at high speed—described as at least twice the 45 mph limit while attempting to pass a truck—struck the back of a trailer attached to another vehicle. His SUV then rolled onto its driver's side. Woods had to crawl out of the overturned vehicle.fe097c

Deputies noted that Woods showed signs of impairment at the scene. He cooperated with a breathalyzer test, registering 0.00 (no alcohol detected), but refused a urinalysis test, which led to charges. Officials took into account his history of injuries and surgeries but still determined he exhibited impairment, possibly related to medication or another substance.901495

Woods was charged with three misdemeanors: DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He was taken to Martin County Jail and released later that evening around 11 p.m. after posting bond. His mugshot was subsequently released, showing him in a blue patterned shirt.1f5ff2
