I remember Williamson talking to OCMs, but I have zero memory of his show.  I do remember the show with the two college aged kids (one was named Justin, but I can't remember the other).

Was he actually driving/filming FOR TWC at the time of the accident, or was he chasing on his own?  From what I read, he was broadcasting live on his YouTube channel at the time, and you could see the stop sign approaching.  As soon as he blew the sign, the screen went dark.

EDIT: Here is the thread from when it happened...

According to public records, Piazza v. Weather Group Television, LLC. was ordered to be dismissed on June 7th, 2021. I guess that would be the end of the lawsuit.
