"My first thing was like, 'Thank you, God,'" Williams said on The Star. I could have gone so fast without seeing them, not saying goodbye or anything, and I went home to them, five or six minutes from home I think that's how it was." The accident occurred Thursday afternoon when the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that Williams was driving was hit on the driver's side by another car that tried to turn in front of him. "I was running straight," recalled the second-round draft pick. "All I remember is that the car in front of me didn't give up and ran really fast. Then I was going straight and another car came running, so I looked around and it was hit from the side, the driver's side. ' said Williams. “And then I held the steering wheel tighter and tried to prop myself up. …I walked out and everyone took out their phones and was like, 'There's no way you're living' [through] That.no way you lived [through] That. '"

Williams was wearing his seatbelt but was left with bruises on his face after an airbag deployed on Monday. According to an Ole Miss article, he and another bystander tried to help another driver get out of the car, but her door was jammed. Both drivers were taken to hospital as a precaution. Neither suffered serious injuries, but Williams was ruled out of Saturday's game against Philadelphia due to his sprained neck and possible concussion.

I've been through it and like I said, you never know, so I called my family and everyone to check on them. Williams has priority and police have already determined that neither alcohol nor drugs contributed to the accident. However, the speed of either car has yet to be determined. "I can't talk enough about it," McCarthy said of one of his ongoing messages to players. I don't know how many times we've talked about when.Be careful.It's definitely recognition that we talk a lot." Williams was saddened by the loss of his car. "That's what I wanted," he admitted. It was difficult to walk away from the wreckage of his dream car. But at least he was able to walk away. Williams knows he's gone When He assured reporters that he deserved so much more and that being able to spend this Christmas with his family was "just a blessing." "God works in mysterious ways.
