Updated on June 13, 2023 10:43AM EDT: 

Treat Williams, the star of Everwood and Hair, died after a motorcycle accident. He was 71.

The actor's death was confirmed on Monday evening by his agent of 15 years, Barry McPherson.

"He was killed this afternoon. He was making a left or a right [and] a car cut him off," McPherson says. "I'm just devastated. He was the nicest guy. He was so talented."

"He was an actor's actor. Filmmakers loved him. He's been the heart of Hollywood since the late 1970s," McPherson continues. "He was really proud of his performance this year. He's been so happy with the work that I got him. He's had a balanced career."

Jacob Gribble, the fire chief for Dorset, Vermont, stated the crash happened on Monday around 5 p.m. on Route 30 by Long Trail Auto near Dorset, Vermont.

Per Gribble, the incident involved a single car and Williams' motorcycle. Investigators believe the car driver was turning and didn't see the motorcycle. Gribble says the motorcyclist was the only person hurt, and a LifeNet helicopter was summoned to airlift him to a hospital in New York.

The Manchester Fire Department responded and set up the landing zone for the helicopter. Other emergency services that responded included East Dorset Fire and Rupert Fire.

The Vermont State Police also released a press release later on Monday, confirming Williams' identity and the details surrounding the crash. Police confirmed the investigation is in its early stages, and team members will return to the collision location on Tuesday, June 13, to continue processing the scene. 

Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie died from complications of childbirth

Updated on June 12, 2023 10:43AM EDT: 

Three-time Olympic medalist Tori Bowie, who died in early May at the age of 32, was in labor at the time of her death, Bowie's agent, Kimberly Holland, confirmed to CBS News on Monday. 

Bowie died from complications of childbirth, Holland said. Bowie was at her Florida home at the time, CBS News previously reported. 

"Unfortunately, so many people, including the media, are making speculations that she did something to herself, which is very hurtful," Holland said. "So hopefully, now knowing the truth, there will be many apologies." 

Bowie won three medals at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games: a silver medal in the 100-meter dash, a bronze medal in the 200-meter dash and a gold medal with her teammates in the 100-meter relay.

After her death, Icon Management Inc., the agency that represented Bowie, remembered Bowie as "a client, dear friend, daughter and sister. Tori was a champion…a beacon of light that shined so bright! We're truly heartbroken and our prayers are with the family and friends."

Team USA on Twitter remembered Bowie as "an admired friend, teammate, and a great representative of Team USA."
