As she entered the intersection, a Nissan Altima going south turned left in front of Williams, forcing her to stop to avoid a crash, police said. After the Nissan passed Williams, she started to go.

A 67-year-0ld woman driving a Hyundai Accent west on Northlake Boulevard had a red light as she approached the intersection, but it then turned green and she entered the intersection, clipping the right front of Williams’ SUV at the intersection of BallenIsles Drive and Northlake Boulevard, police said.

Palm Beach Gardens Police spokesman Maj. Paul Rogers said the crash is still under investigation. Police are still working to identify the driver of the Altima, he said.

Linda Barson, the driver of the Accent, told police she didn’t see Williams’ SUV and wasn’t able to stop without hitting it. A witness said Williams crossed the westbound lanes of Northlake in front of her, according to the crash report.

Linda Barson’s husband, 78-year-old Jerome, suffered head injuries and was taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center, where he died June 22.

Williams, who has not been cited while the investigation is ongoing, is in London competing at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships. She said nothing about the crash after beating Wang Qiang in the second round of competition Wednesday but broke down when a reporter asked her about the crash at a news conference Monday.

"There really are no words to describe, like, how devastating…" Williams trailed off. "I’m completely speechless."

It was an echo of the statement she issued to her Facebook page Sunday.

"I am devastated and heartbroken by this accident," Williams wrote. "My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Jerome Barson and I continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers."

Williams was not hurt in the crash. She will face 59th-ranked Naomi Osaka on Friday.

Barson’s family is suing Williams for unintentionally causing his death. The couple was running errands for an upcoming family Disney cruise, their attorney, Michael Steinger, said. They were married for more than 33 years and have seven grandchildren.

The crash injured Linda Barson, who is recovering from a cracked sternum, shattered right arm, broken right wrist, hand and fingers, according to the lawsuit.

They met when Jerome taught tennis at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center in North Miami Beach, Steinger said. Prior to that, he taught math and social studies at a Philadelphia high school and was a chemist for the Department of Agriculture in Philadelphia until moving to Florida in 1975.

Statement from Palm Beach Gardens Police Department Regarding the Traffic Crash which occurred on June 9, 2017

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department initiated an investigation into a traffic crash involving Venus Williams on June 9, 2017. The crash occurred at 1:13 P.M. at the intersection of Northlake Boulevard and BallenIsles Drive in the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The passenger of Vehicle 2 (Jerome L. Barson of West Palm Beach, FL) was transported to the hospital where he later died on June 22, 2017.

UPDATE:

After the initial investigation was conducted, new evidence into the incident was located. Video surveillance footage was obtained from a community south of the intersection which recorded the traffic crash. Based on the evidence obtained in the ongoing investigation, it has been determined the vehicle driven by Venus Williams lawfully entered the intersection on a circular green traffic signal, and attempted to travel north through the intersection to BallenIsles Drive. As Williams was traveling through the intersection, a Nissan Altima entered the intersection traveling south, and made a left turn in front of William’s vehicle, causing her to stop advancing through the intersection to avoid a collision. After the Nissan had proceeded past Williams, Williams then started to proceed north through the intersection in accordance with F.S.S. 316.075 (1)(a)1. The vehicle driven by Linda Barson was traveling west on Northlake Blvd, in the outside lane, approaching a steady red traffic signal. The traffic signal then cycled to green, at which time Barson continued westbound and entered the intersection. The front end of Barson’s vehicle collided with the right front of William’s vehicle. This updated information, based upon new evidence, is still under investigation.

As per Florida Statutes, due to the continuing investigation of this incident, no additional information will be released at this time. To request a copy of the initial traffic crash report, please email the Palm Beach Gardens Office of the City Clerk at psnider@pbgfl.com.
