President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for Tiger Woods in remarks to reporters in Miami following the golfer’s arrest.
According to police officials, just before 2 p.m. ET, Woods’ Range Rover was traveling at a high rate of speed on Beach Road on Jupiter Island when he tried to pass a work truck. Woods’ SUV clipped the back of the truck’s trailer and flipped onto its side.
The crash took place near 281 Beach Road, about 4 miles north of Woods’ home. Woods was uninjured and was able to climb out of the SUV on his own, according to the sheriff’s office.
Woods, in the estimation of officers on the scene, “did exemplify signs of impairment.”
Trump was pressed for his input.
“He’s got some difficulty, there was an accident, and that’s all I know,” Trump said.
“Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man, but, uh, some difficulty.”
