(Photo: Dmitri Lovetsky, Associated Press)Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — Tennis star Venus Williams is being sued by the estate of a Florida man who died after a car crash police say she caused. Palm Beach Gardens Maj. Paul Rogers said the investigation is ongoing, and by law he cannot release further information. Venus Williams has been accused of causing a car crash that led to the death of a passenger in another vehicle in Florida. An attorney representing the family of Jerome Barson, 78, filed the lawsuit Friday in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, seeking unspecified damages. The Palm Beach Post quoted him as saying only that he was aware of the lawsuit.
"The report says a 2016 Hyundai Accent driven by Barson's wife, Linda, crashed into the side of Williams' SUV. Linda Barson told investigators that she was approaching the intersection when her light turned green and that she was unable to stop in time. Linda Barson suffered unspecified moderate injuries. "She [Williams] told investigators she had entered the six-lane intersection on a green light but had been forced to stop midpoint by traffic ahead of her. Williams, who turned 37 on June 17, was not hurt.
