Budensiek mentioned the crash occurred after Woods allegedly tried to overhaul a stress cleaner truck at a “excessive fee of pace”.
DUI investigators got here to the scene and “Mr Woods did exemplify indicators of impairment”, Budensiek mentioned.
“They did a number of assessments on him,” Budensiek mentioned. “He did clarify the accidents and surgical procedures that he is had and we did take that under consideration, however they did some in-depth roadside assessments.”
Woods was positioned beneath arrest after the incident, which befell on Seashore Street simply earlier than 14:00 native time (19:00 GMT).
Budensiek mentioned investigators on the scene and at jail had been “actually not suspicious of alcohol being concerned” and Woods handed a breathalyser check with “triple zeros”.
Budensiek mentioned Woods was “co-operative however was making an attempt to not incriminate himself”.
“He has a proper to refuse that check,” Budensiek mentioned.
“There’s a statute which he shall be charged with for refusing to take that check, however we are going to by no means get definitive outcomes as to what he was impaired on on the time of the crash.”
US President Donald Trump mentioned: “I really feel so badly. He has received some issue. There was an accident. That is all I do know.
“He is a really shut buddy of mine. He is an incredible individual – an incredible man.”
The fees in opposition to Woods are misdemeanours, not felonies.
The BBC has contacted his representatives for remark.
