His Land Rover, which landed on its side, is visible in the background.
The officer can also be heard talking to the driver of the vehicle — a truck — that Woods hit.
“Are you OK?” he asks, to which the man replies, “I’m fine.”
According to an earlier incident report, the driver of the truck, who has been identified as 43-year-old Jeromy Bullard, said he noticed a car approaching him at “high speeds” as he was manoeuvring onto a driveway.
The truck sustained about US$5,000 in damage to the rear-left fender and wheel of the trailer, according to the incident report.
Woods was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence of an unknown substance and was described by police as “lethargic” after crawling out of the passenger door of his SUV.
Police also noted that the golfer had “glassy” eyes and two white pills in his pocket, which were later determined to be hydrocodone, an opioid prescribed to treat chronic pain. The pills were found inside his left pocket, according to the report. It did not specify if they had been prescribed to Woods.
Authorities charged Woods with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Both charges are misdemeanours.
