«Breaking News» Venus Williams has reached a settlement with family of 78-year-old man killed in Florida car crash

Venus Williams has reached a settlement with the family of a man killed in a Florida car crash she was involved in last year.  

TMZ reports that 78-year-old Jerome Barson's estate and the tennis pro reached an agreement for an undisclosed amount in the wrongful death lawsuit last week. 

Video footage captured the grisly accident near Williams' home in Palm Beach on June 9, 2017.  

Barson's wife was driving a sedan that T-boned with Williams' SUV after the 37-year-old was forced to stop in an intersection. 

Barson died 13 days after the crash, but neither driver was charged as police determined both had the right of way.

Police had initially said Williams was to blame for the crash because she failed to yield the right-of-way.  

At the time, Williams told police she was trying to get across the junction but traffic was backed up and she had to slow down to a crawl, leaving her stranded in the middle of the junction as the light turned green in Barson's direction.

The late Jerome Barson was initially hospitalized for serious head injuries after the crash. His wife Linda was taken to hospital with injuries including a cracked sternum and multiple broken bones.

Photos from the crash scene show the Barsons' vehicle crashed on the side of the road, with the front of the 2016 Hyundai Accent completely crumpled in on itself.

The airbags appear to have deployed in the front, and the back windows are shattered.

The Barson family's wrongful death suit filed less than a month after the crash sought unspecified damages for loss of companionship for both Linda Barson and their family, loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and medical and funeral expenses. 

Both parties reportedly paid their own attorneys' fees.

Over the summer Barson's estate filed a motion to subpoena all phone devices Williams had in her possession at the time of the crash, claiming she was using one shortly before it occurred.

Williams denied access to her devices and called the request a 'wild goose chase', arguing that handing over her cell would allow 'unfettered and unlimited access to anything and everything on her phone'.

According to court records, the plaintiff's motion for forensic inspection was approved by a judge on August 31. 

A filing stipulates that Williams could pick and expert of her own choosing to complete the probe no later than October 8. 

However, 10 days later the Barson estate filed a proposal for a settlement, which was reached on November 15.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
