Another star that had a fatal accident is American professional tennis player and icon Venus Williams. She is sister to Serena Williams.
What happened was in June 2017, Venus Williams was in Palm Beach, Florida, driving her Toyota Sequoia SUV when another car crashed into hers at an intersection.
The car’s driver, Linda Barson, survived, but her passenger, her 78-year-old husband, Jerome Barson, later died.
Mr Barson, 78, suffered “massive” fatal injuries from the accident in Palm Beach Gardens city. His family said Barson’s injuries included “severed main arteries, massive internal bleeding, a fractured spine, and massive internal organ damage.”
Venus Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, was initially suspected of turning into the intersection without right of way, but was later cleared of any wrongdoing after authorities obtained a surveillance video that showed she wasn’t at fault.
No charges were filed against the tennis star. She eventually reached a settlement with Jerome Barson’s family which wasn’t made public.
