The sheriff confirmed at a news conference that Woods was driving at “a high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, causing his vehicle to flip onto the driver’s side. Budensiek said Woods appeared to have gotten out of the vehicle by “crawling” out of the passenger side.
Authorities said Woods “is an example of signs of impairment.” He blew “triple zeros” for alcohol but refused to take a urine test.
