Venus Williams was involved in a car crash in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., on June 9 that resulted in a fatality, a spokesman for the police department there said.
The crash is under investigation, said the spokesman, Maj. Paul Rogers. Palm Beach Gardens police said in a report on the crash that Williams was at fault, but her lawyer noted that she had not been cited or charged.
Jerome Barson, 78, was injured in the car, which was being driven by his wife, and died two weeks later. Palm Beach Gardens police said that witnesses told investigators that Williams ran a red light.
A lawyer for Williams, Malcolm Cunningham, released a statement Thursday that said: “Ms. Williams entered the intersection on a green light. The police report estimates that Ms. Williams was traveling at 5 m.p.h. when Mrs. Barson crashed into her. Authorities did not issue Ms. Williams with any citations or traffic violations. This is an unfortunate accident, and Venus expresses her deepest condolences to the family who lost a loved one.”
Cunningham said that Williams was not ticketed or charged, and was not injured in the crash. The police report said she was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Williams was cited in Palm Beach County, Fla., for driving without proof of insurance in 2011 and for driving with a suspended license in 2013.

Venus williams challenged a dude who was ranked like 122 in the world to a match when she was 18 confident she would win. He drank before the match. He utterly destroyed her.

How is this her fault then? She had a green light and the other car hit her.

Literally everything the lawyer said is a lie. Official police statement lists her as at fault. She's been caught driving on a suspended license and driving without insurance before. $10 she blew the red light while speeding.

Listen here, Wang Chun: you're not allowed to stop your lowered Honda Civic with tinted windows, canted wheels, and blue ground effects in the middle of an intersection.
