Update: On July 8, police amended the initial conclusion and announced they "determined the vehicle driven by Venus Williams lawfully entered the intersection" and that she was not at fault for the accident. 

Venus Williams was listed in a police report as being at fault in a car accident in Florida that led to the death of a 78-year-old man on June 23.

Per a police report obtained by TMZ Sports, the accident occurred June 9 in Palm Beach Gardens. The driver of the other car told officers Williams' vehicle "suddenly darted into the intersection" and she had no time to stop before T-boning Williams.

According to TMZ, the report stated there was "no evidence Venus was under the influence of drugs or alcohol," nor was there "evidence she was distracted by an electronic device."

The report noted Williams said she told police she was trying to go through an intersection, but backed-up traffic led her to reduce her speed dramatically, and her vehicle was left "exposed in the intersection."

Jerome Barson suffered head trauma in the accident and was taken to a local hospital's intensive care unit, where he died two weeks later. Barson's wife, who was driving the car at the time of the accident, suffered broken bones and other injuries.
