Caitlyn Jenner will pay an $800,000 settlement to multiple members of the family involved in her three-car crash on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu in 2015.
You may recall that a woman named Kim Howe was killed when her Lexus was rear-ended by Jenner’s SUV and trailer …. on PCH near Latigo Beach.
The Lexus was shoved into opposing lanes … where it hit head-on … a Hummer driven by Peter Wolf-Millesi.
