Caitlyn Jenner has settled one lawsuit stemming from her February car crash in Malibu in which she rear-ended another vehicle to trigger a chain reaction of collisions.

Steindorff, who was behind the wheel of a Prius at the time, reportedly claimed back in June she had suffered serious medical injuries from the crash, which Jenner's Cadillac Escalade caused. She therefore asked for personal injury and property damage.
Jenner's insurance company took care of the bill, according to the website, so Jenner didn't have to reach into her own pocket.
Jenner, 66, was still known as Bruce at the time of the February 7 accident. The I Am Cait star's Escalade crashed into a Lexus and Prius on the Pacific Coast Highway, and then the driver of the Lexus -- Kim Howe -- was pushed into oncoming traffic, hit by a Hummer and killed at the scene.
Although Jenner will not be charged with vehicular manslaughter, she still allegedly faces two more lawsuits. Howe's two adult stepchildren are suing Caitlyn, along with the driver and passengers of the Hummer.
In a September interview with the Today show's Matt Lauer, Jenner briefly discussed the accident, insisting she was not careless and negligent while driving.
"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," explained Jenner, who was also not texting or under the influence of any kind.
"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."
