Golf star Tiger Woods has been involved in a car crash in Florida.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the collision on Jupiter Island, which took place on Friday just after 14:00 local time (about 19:00 GMT).
The BBC’s US media partner CBS, external says a source at Martin County Fire Rescue confirmed it was a two-car crash – with one vehicle rolling over.
One person is stable, while another refused to go to hospital. Woods’ condition is not yet known as no further details have been released.
Police are scheduled to give an update at about 21:00 GMT.
This is not the first time Woods, 50, has been involved in a car accident – the 15-time major champion has played a limited schedule since a 2021 crash that left him with extensive injuries and fortunate to be alive.
In 2017 police officers found him slumped at the wheel of his parked Mercedes-Benz not far from his Florida home.
A toxicology report found Woods had several legal medications in his system and marijuana’s active ingredient, and he was sentenced to a year’s probation after pleading guilty to reckless driving.
In 2009 Woods hit a fire hydrant, a tree, and several hedges in a bizarre collision outside his home.
The incident sparked accusations of extramarital affairs which led to the end of his seven-year marriage and the loss of lucrative sponsorship deals.
The BBC has contacted Woods’ representatives for comment.
