At one point, appearing concerned about the driver’s condition, the 911 operator asked, “OK, have you been able to get hold of the driver or not?”
The sheriff’s office representative responded glumly, saying, “No ma’am, we haven’t had a voice response from them.”
Woods was arrested for driving under the influence after he appeared to cause an accident in Florida that resulted in his vehicle overturning, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Friday.

The sheriff confirmed at a news conference that Woods was driving at a “high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, resulting in his vehicle flipping onto its driver’s side. Budensiek said Woods appeared to have exited the vehicle by “crawling” out of the passenger side.
Authorities said Woods “exemplified signs of impairment.” He blew “triple-zero” for alcohol but refused a urine test.
