The stepchildren of the motorist killed in a 2015 multi-vehicle accident involving reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner have reached a settlement with the retired Olympian.

The transgender star, 66, who was Bruce Jenner at the time of the crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in California, was sued by William Howe and Dana Redmond for the wrongful death of their stepmother.

The adult siblings refreshed their suit in July last year, claiming Jenner's insurance policy did not cover their damages, reported E!Online.

Jenner asked for the lawsuit to be thrown out, insisting the stepkids did not depend on Howe and were allegedly estranged from her at the time of the accident.
 

The legal battle rumbled on, but now Howe's stepchildren have filed to dismiss the lawsuit after reportedly settling with Jenner.

According to court documents, Howe and Redmond filed dismissals.

Police reports suggest Jenner drove into the rear of Jessica Steindorff's Toyota Prius, which started a chain reaction, pushing Howe's Lexus into oncoming traffic.
