New evidence shows Venus Williams was driving "lawfully" when she was involved in a deadly car crash that sparked a lawsuit against the tennis star, police in Florida said on Friday.


An initial police report on the June 9 crash in Palm Beach Gardens described Williams as being "at fault" in the incident.


On Friday, Palm Beach Gardens police issued a statement saying new video obtained of the collision showed that "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."

She was forced to halt in the intersection when a south-bound vehicle turned in front of her, police said. Once that car passed, Williams began to proceed through the intersection, also in accordance with traffic laws.
