According to the publication, Williams told her side of the story at the time of the wreck, saying she was “caught in the middle” of the intersection when the Barsons smashed into her car. She said there was a third driver in front of her that had turned as the light was turning, which officials say was a violation of Williams’ right of way. However, officials aren’t blaming the third driver for the crash either.
