The incident, which occurred on March 27 in Jupiter Island, Florida, involved Woods and his Land Rover. Trump, referring to Woods as a "close friend," offered few details about the incident. The crash took place around 2 p.m. in the 200 block of Beach Road, where Woods' vehicle, at high speed, hit a truck, subsequently rolling over. Authorities reported that the golfer was arrested following the incident. Trump, in his statements, said, "I feel so badly... A very close friend of mine: he's an amazing person, an amazing man."
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek commented that the photos of the scene "speak for themselves" and that the accident could have been much worse. Woods managed to get out of the vehicle on his own. Tests at the scene suggested signs of impairment in the golfer, although the breathalyzer test was negative.
