As Williams was reportedly backing up his Mercedes Benz E350, he mistakenly hit a woman’s car. According to Williams, though, the woman was at fault because she was driving too fast, “She was passing through and I…kids, the young people today, they just drive too fast.”
After the 76-year-old Williams said he didn’t sustain any damage, he indicated that the other driver did, “She had very slight..she had slight damage.”
