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.

He and his … Lea Wolf-Millesi … her mother and two children will share in the award. 

This apparently ends the legal manner against Caitlyn Jenner. 

She has already settled a lawsuit with the Kim Howe’s survivors … and sheriffs traffic investigators elected not to charge her with any traffic offense for the crash.
