{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Nearly two months after actor Treat Williams was killed in a vehicular accident involving his motorcycle and another car, a review has led Vermont State Police to charge one man with grossly negligent operation resulting in death.
Ryan M. Koss, 35, of Dorset, Vermont, was notified of the charges on Tuesday evening, when he was processed and released, according to a press release. His arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 25.
Police say the "Blue Bloods" actor was driving his motorcycle when Dorset tried to make a left turn and collided with the actor. Williams was flung from his bike and later pronounced dead at the Albany Medical Center.
