Tiger Woods to change plea after crash arrest

Tiger Woods is to change his plea in court five months after he was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence in a rollover crash in Florida.

Court records show the change of plea hearing is set for Wednesday morning in Martin County, Florida. The golfer was arrested after the March crash, and had passed a breathalyser test but declined further testing for other drugs.

He pleaded not guilty the same month to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and refusal to submit to testing. Woods, 50, said he was seeking treatment after the incident.

It was not immediately clear what the change of plea would be. The BBC has contacted prosecutors and Woods' attorney.

No one was injured in the crash, though Woods had to crawl out through the passenger door to free himself.

Police released body camera footage in April that captured the aftermath of the incident, showing the golfing legend after his vehicle clipped a truck and rolled over.

In the video, Woods appears calm, kneeling on one knee as he tells officers: "I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden, boom".

He passed a breathalyser test but declined to take a urinalysis screening for other drugs, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said at the time.
