Tiger Woods appeared dazed and dismayed in newly released police body camera footage following his rollover accident, RadarOnline.com can report.
The golf legend has announced he will "seek treatment" and "focus" on his health after pleading "not guilty" to DUI following his latest arrest.
Tiger Offers an Excuse for the Crash
Woods was charged with DUI following the rollover car crash.
In the new bodycam footage, Woods was kneeling on the grass beside the road next to his car. He was wearing a turquoise shirt, sunglasses, and a backward hat.
The 50-year-old solemnly told responding officers, "I looked down at my phone... and all of a sudden – boom."
He was receptive and cooperative with the officials and agreed to be checked out by medical personnel.
In another part of the video, Woods was seated in the backseat of a patrol car with a blanket over his head. The athlete yawned and struggled to stay awake and alert.
Details of the Crash
Pills were discovered in his pocket.
As Radar reported, Woods was involved in a two-car rollover accident in Florida on Friday, March 27. Authorities said he was attempting to pass a truck hauling a trailer on a narrow road. His SUV flipped onto its side in the wreck and Woods was forced to crawl out through one of the vehicle's windows.
Police confirmed Woods was not injured in the accident.
However, when authorities arrived, the golfer exhibited "severe" signs of impairment.
He passed a breathalyzer test and claimed he had not consumed any alcohol that day before driving.
Woods Had Pills
The crash happened near his Jupiter Island, Florida, mansion.
According to his arrest affidavit, Woods allegedly had two loose hydrocodone pills in his pocket at the time of the incident.
When questioned about medications, Woods told officers, "I take a few."
While he admitted to taking prescription medication earlier that morning, he clarified that he had not used any illegal substances.
Hours later, Woods' mugshot was released, showing the five-time Masters champ with heavy eyes that still appeared slightly bloodshot.
He posted $1,150 bail shortly after 11 p.m. on the day of his arrest, and was seen looking upset and incredibly downcast in photographs as he was driven away from the jail.

Woods Steps Away
Woods announced he would be stepping away from golf to seek treatment.
Earlier this week, Woods took to his Instagram Story to say he recognized the "seriousness of the situation" he found himself in, and that he would take the time to address his demons.
"I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health," he wrote. "This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery."
"I'm committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally," he continued. "I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time."
The professional golfer did not specify what he would be seeking treatment for at this time.
