Tennis star Venus Williams avoids media as she arrives for wrongful death deposition

November 10, 2017

Venus Williams avoided eye contact with the media as she arrived at a lawyer's office in Florida to attend a deposition hearing as part of her wrongful death lawsuit.

The tennis star is being sued after being involved in a car crash over the summer that led to the death of a passenger in another vehicle.

Police in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida say witnesses told investigators that Williams ran a red light in her 2010 Toyota Sequoia SUV, causing a June 9 crash that injured 78-year-old Jerome Barson, who died two weeks later.

Video from a nearby security booth would reveal the tennis star appeared to enter the intersection lawfully.
