Treat Williams, the star of ‘Hair,’ d1ed in a motorcycle accident in Dorset, Vermont.
Treat Williams, best known for his roles in “Hair” and “Everwood,” d1ed in a car accident in Dorset on Monday, police said. He was 71.
Williams was driving along Morse Hill Road at approximately 4:53 p.m. when his motorcycle was unable to avoid a Honda SUV and the two vehicles collided, according to Vermont State Police.
“The Vermont State Police is investigating a crash between an SUV and a motorcycle in Dorset on Monday afternoon, June 12, 2023, in which the operator of the motorcycle suffered fatal injuries,” the statement read. “The motorcyclist’s name has been identified as Richard Treat Williams, 71, of Manchester Center, Vermont.”
The crash occurred on Vermont Route 30 just north of Morse Hill Road when a southbound 2008 Honda Element attempted to turn into a parking lot, according to police.
“Initial investigation indicates that the Element stopped, signaled a left turn, and then turned into the path of a northbound 1986 Honda VT700c motorcycle operated by Williams,” according to the statement.
Williams, according to police, was unable to avoid the oncoming vehicle and was thrown from his motorcycle, suffering critical injuries.
As a result of the crash, he sustained critical injuries and was airlifted to Albany Medical Center in Albany, New York, where he was pronounced d3ad.
The other driver was examined at the scene by medical personnel for minor injuries and was not transported to a hospital.
“The crash investigation is in its early stages.” A member of the Vermont State Police Crash Reconstruction Team was on the scene Monday evening, and team members will return to the scene Tuesday, June 13, to continue processing the scene,” the Vermont State Police said.
Trooper Jared Lacoste of the Shaftsbury Barracks was the first to arrive.
Williams tweeted a video of himself mowing a lawn just hours before the accident.
“I’m mowing today.” “I wish I could bottle the fragrance,” he wrote.
“What a real Vermonter does,” Williams added in a second tweet.
His long film and television career began in 1975, when he made his film debut in “D3adly Hero.”
His decades-long career included roles in the television series “Heartland” in 2007 and “Chesapeake Shores” from 2016 to 2022, as well as films such as “127 Hours,” “The Congressman,” and “12 Mighty Orphans.”
