In other words, Williams was already in the intersection when the light changed.
Oooh, I smell HUGE lawsuit, undisclosed settlement, and a deferred community service.
Athlete women drivers....
Just like that Jenner woman.
Yep. Sounds like she tried to “blow through” the light.
There will be a big payout, but since there is a death will she be protected from criminal charges because she is a woman, black, and a celebrity?
Yes, it sounds like a dubious decision. Normally, the vehicle that hits something is considered at fault, since you are supposed to look where you are going and stop if there is something there.
Williams could have entered the intersection on a yellow, hoping to make a quick turn, but you don’t just go when the light turns green, you look for cars that may be cutting things a little close. That’s what defensive driving is all about.
Texting anyone?
Another good reason to make sure you can clear the intersection before you enter it - other than just blocking traffic for everyone. I can see where Venus was at fault - but was her vehicle blocked from view of the other driver? You can’t just look at the green light and say “Hey - I’m good to go!”
If I’m first at the light I always make sure that I can see the cross traffic and if they are slowing to stop. It would suck to get T-boned by some guy speeding up to go through the “yellow”.
The other driver’s car was racist for getting in Venus’ way, How DARE other drivers don’t already know that and let them run lights. They’re black privileged.
Traffic Light Rage.
In Manhattan one often sees these signs at street corners.
If,by chance,other states have similar laws (that drivers are responsible for not blocking an intersection) than Williams might be considered guilty/responsible.
This explains why Serena was so testy about McEnroe’s comments. Lots of stress in the family.
Hopefully the victim was white. Then Venus will get a parking ticket, after all, black lives matter.
if she were competing against male drivers, she’d be No. 700 in th world ....
Depending on how fast she Williams was going she might not have even reached the intersection yet. Williams car hit the other car in a T-bone fashion. Sounds like Williams ran the light, big time.
>>”Barson told investigators that she was approaching the intersection when her light turned green and that she was unable to stop in time.”
In other words, Williams was already in the intersection when the light changed.<<
That doesn’t make any sense. If she was approaching the intersection when HER light turned green, it was red and she should have been stopped or close to it.
Well, we will finally find out if she is a guy.
Yeah. This elderly dimbulb was just lucky she hit somebody who would probably just settle rather than get bad publicity.
Sequoia vs Accent...Accent is going to lose big time. Like a beer can vs a steam roller.
...will she get the Halle Berry slap on the wrist treatment?
Media has been pretty darn quiet about this...gee I wonder why.
