From the statement: After the initial investigation was conducted, new evidence into the incident was located. Video surveillance footage was obtained from a community south of the intersection which recorded the traffic crash.

After the Nissan had proceeded past Williams, Williams then started to proceed north through the intersection in accordance with F. S. S. 3. 16. 0. 75 (1)(a)1. The vehicle driven by Linda Barson was traveling west on Northlake Blvd, in the outside lane, approaching a steady red traffic signal. The traffic signal then cycled to green, at which time Barson continued westbound and entered the intersection. The front end of Barson’s vehicle collided with the right front of William’s vehicle. This updated information, based upon new evidence, is still under investigation. Here’s that surveillance video: Williams is being sued for wrongful death by the estate of Jerome Barson, the passenger in the westbound vehicle, who died from injuries sustained in the collision.
