Another development. Caitlyn Jenner reportedly reached a settlement with Hollywood agent Jessica Steindorff on Wednesday, December 30, stemming from her car accident in Malibu back in February, TMZ reports. 

As previously reported, the Olympian, 66 — known as Bruce Jenner at the time — crashed her Cadillac Escalade into a Lexus on the Pacific Coast Highway on February 7. The driver of the Lexus, Kim Howe, was pushed into oncoming traffic and killed.

According to TMZ, Steindorff drove one of the four cars that were involved in the crash. (In June, Steindorff claimed that she suffered serious medical injuries from the accident.) On Wednesday, she reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount with Jenner, which was reportedly paid by Jenner’s insurance company.

Jenner, who will not be charged with vehicular manslaughter, opened up about the incident back in September.

"I was under the speed limit. I was going 46 in a 50. My airbag didn't even go off. All I probably needed was half a second of time. I almost stopped, but couldn't quite get it stopped. I was pulling a trailer, so, no, I don't think it was speed or anything like that,” Jenner explained to the Today show’s Matt Lauer.

She continued: "I remember it happening [but] that’s about it. A tragedy like this, you’ll never get over it. You just learn to live with it the best you possibly can.”
