Treat Williams, best known for his parts in the television series “Hair” and “Everwood,” passed away on Monday in Dorset, according to the police. He was seventy-one. Williams was driving along Morse Hill Road at around 4:53 p.m. when his motorbike was unable to escape a Honda SUV and the two cars crashed, according to a statement released by the Vermont State Police online, confirming the fatality. “The Vermont State Police is investigating a crash between an SUV and a motorcycle Monday afternoon, June 12, 2023, in Dorset in which the operator of the motorcycle suffered fatal injuries,” the statement continued. “The motorcyclist is identified as Richard Treat Williams, 71, of Manchester Center, Vermont.” The collision occurred on Vermont Route 30 just north of Morse Hill Road, according to the police.
“Initial investigation indicates the Element stopped, signaled a left turn, and then turned into the path of a northbound 1986 Honda VT700c motorcycle operated by Williams,” the statement continued.
