Williams' family said that they forgave Koss and urged him to "forgive yourself."
According to initial reports, Williams sadly stood little chance against the driver's much larger SUV.

Williams, who was traveling in the northbound lanes, was left with little to no time to react as the SUV turned into his lane.
