Venus Williams’ court battle in a wrongful death suit has come to an end. The tennis superstar has reached a settlement with the estate of a man who died in a collision with her on a Florida road, TMZ reports. Details of the settlement were not disclosed. Williams was named in the wrongful death suit after a 2017 car accident that left Jerome Barson dead and his wife Linda injured.
