A driver accused of causing a crash that killed the actor Treat Williams was cited for grossly negligent operation causing death, officials said.
An investigation of the 12 June crash in Dorset, Vermont, concluded a vehicle pulled in front of Williams, who was riding a motorcycle and was unable to avoid a collision, Vermont state police said.
The cited driver, Ryan Koss, 35 and from Dorset, was processed on Tuesday evening and released ahead of a September arraignment, state police said.
A court official could not say if Koss had a lawyer. Koss did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Williams, 71 and from Manchester Center, Vermont, was pronounced dead at Albany medical center in New York.
Williams’s near-50-year career included starring roles in the TV series Everwood and the movie Hair. He appeared in more than 120 TV and film roles, including the movies The Eagle Has Landed, Prince of the City and Once Upon a Time in America.
Living in rural Vermont, Williams regularly posted messages on social media about his love for the area. He married Pam Van Sant in 1988, and had two children.
After his death, his family said they were “shocked and greatly bereaved”.
