Tiger Woods’ recent SUV accident and DUI arrest were hardly surprising to the affluent residents of Jupiter Island, according to an exclusive report by the Daily Mail. The famed golfer’s reckless driving habits have reportedly become a familiar sight in this exclusive Florida community, known for housing the elite of the elite.

The incident made headlines on Friday afternoon after images surfaced showing the 50-year-old golf icon standing beside his damaged Range Rover. The vehicle had collided with the rear of a truck and trailer, causing quite a stir shortly after 2 p.m. EST.

While the news seemed shocking to the global audience, those familiar with Woods’ driving proficiency—or lack thereof—were apparently less taken aback. For them, this near-miss was simply another chapter in the saga of Woods’ troubled relationship with the road.

A former employee of Woods, who chose to remain anonymous, shared insights into the golfer’s driving habits. “The guy is a terrible driver,” the source remarked, describing Woods as someone who frequently speeds through areas where heavy equipment and lawn services are in operation.

With Woods’ history of accidents and erratic driving, it seems the residents of Jupiter Island have grown accustomed to these episodes, even if the rest of the world remains in disbelief.

‘The guy is a terrible driver… he drives like a bat out of hell very often on a road where lawn services are parked with heavy equipment,’ the source revealed.

‘I’ve been with him in the car going 55 or 60 mph, driving past cops who don’t seem to care.’

This time, though, local police had no choice but to intervene, with Woods put behind bars shortly after 3pm on Friday afternoon, destined to stay there for at least eight hours and until he is bailed out – again – by those closest to him.

Woods’ latest crash occurred on a road with a 30mph speed limit, as he attempted to overtake a truck that was pulling a pressure-washer device.

As revealed by the police, and as told by the scary photos of skid marks from the scene of the accident, he clipped the back of the trailer as it turned into a driveway and flipped his Range Rover onto its side.

When cops arrived, they found Woods ‘lethargic’. At a press conference, Sheriff John Budensiek revealed: ‘He is cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself, so he was careful in what he said and didn’t say. When it came time again for the test, the urine test at the jail, he stopped that.

‘On scene, we had [Drug Recognition] experts evaluating him and they believed from on scene that he was not impaired with alcohol, but they believe it was some type of medication or drug. And again, at the jail he cooperated with the breathalyzer, and then the urine [test] he wanted no part in.

‘He has a right to refuse that test. There is a statute that he will be charged with for refusing to take that test, but we will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash.’

Our insider agreed that the golf icon, who only returned to the sport on Tuesday after months of injury rehab, is not one for ‘illegal drugs’.

‘I know the guy, that’s just not what he does,’ the source revealed, going on to explain that he believes Woods refused to provide a urine sample because he has taken heavy doses of prescription opioids from his repeated injuries.

‘He has been on tons of pain medication for years,’ the insider adds.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt in Woods’ latest brush with death, but it remains to be seen what happens next when he is released from jail and has to face up to the latest scandal on an ever-growing rap sheet.
