Venus Williams has advanced to the third round at Wimbledon. (EPA/Gerry Penny)Venus Williams obtained an emergency protective order Wednesday in the lawsuit filed against her after a fatal car crash. Barson, 78, died two weeks later from injuries suffered in the crash, and the initial police report stated that Williams was “at fault for violating the right of way” of Barson’s car, which was being driven by his wife. Williams’s lawyers asked for the protective order to be issued until they could agree on terms for a collection of data overseen by both sides. “The on-board data of both vehicles will be critical evidence,” an attorney for Williams, Kevin Yombor, wrote in requesting the order (via the Sun-Sentinel).
