Police in Florida say tennis star Venus Williams was at fault for a June 9 car crash that led to the death of the passenger in the other vehicle two weeks later.

According to a copy of the police report obtained by ABC, Williams' 2010 Toyota Sequoia SUV darted into an intersection in Palm Beach Gardens, near her residence. The other driver, identified as Linda Barson, said she could not stop her 2016 Hyundai Accent in time and hit Williams' car.  ...

Michael Steinger, attorney for the Barsons, said Friday morning on "Good Morning America" that a wrongful death lawsuit had been filed against Williams.

According to TMZ Sports, which first reported the crash, the driver's husband sustained head trauma in the crash and was taken to a hospital. He died two weeks later. He was identified as 78-year-old Jerome Barson in the police report.

Linda Barson also sustained injuries, her attorney told TMZ Sports.  ...
