A driver accused of causing the crash that killed Treat Williams has said he knew the actor and considered him a friend, but denied wrongdoing and said charges against him are not warranted.

Ryan Koss, the managing creative director of the Dorset Theatre Festival in Vermont, said he had known Williams for years as a member of the tight-knit community, as well as being a fellow theatre member.
