How about you - Have you ever been arrested for DUI?

The legal limit is .08 in California. A person with a blood alcohol concentration level of .08 to .10 is considered to be legally intoxicated. A driver with the blood alcohol concentrated (BAC) of 0.10 or greater is more likely to be involved in a fatal motor vehicle accident than a driver who has not consumed any alcohol.


Studies have shown that consuming any amount of alcohol can impair your driving and increase your chances of being in a fatal motor vehicle accident or causing bodily harm to an innocent bystander. You do not only put yourself at risk, you also put the lives of innocent people at risk as well.

More To Car Crash Than First Reported

Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren Woods has also been identified in other reports as the person who pulled the golfer from the vehicle. She told the police that she broke open a window with a golf club when she saw that her husband was bleeding and in pain, she then dragged him out of the SUV to safety. However, Tabloid reports blamed the crash on a quarrel they said Woods, 33 had with his wife Elin, 29, after the National Enquirer reported the golfer had an affair with club hostess Rachel Uchitel, 34, and Jamie Grubbs, 24 a Los Angeles cocktail waitress.

WFTV- Channel 9’s Eyewitness News reported Thursday night that the alleged mistresses could just be the tip of the iceberg for Woods.

What Did Police Find At The Scene

According to reports, a police officer who was at the scene of the accident outside Tiger Woods Florida home, found the golfer unresponsive and lying on the road covered in a blanket and resting his head on a pillow. His SUV engine was still running, the front passenger door was jammed and both rear door windows were broken out. The two golf clubs were next to a golf cart, which also was in the road, the report said.

Neither Woods nor his wife made any comments about the accident. However, last week Woods issued a statement saying he had let his family down and that he regrets it with all of his heart, but he did not elaborate any further.
