Venus Williams has been found not responsible for the accident that killed 78-year-old Jerome Barson in June, police announced on Friday. Palm Beach Garden police said that Williams "lawfully entered" the intersection when she was T-Boned by Barson and his wife, Linda. Jerome Barson died of internal injuries approximately two weeks after the crash, and the Barson family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Williams. Williams, who is competing at Wimbledon currently, is trying to put the accident behind her.
Local police initially claimed that Williams was at fault for the accident, but new footage found that she was cut off by a Nissan Ultima turning left.
