Meadow Walker has settled a lawsuit with Porsche four years after her father’s death

Actor Paul Walker died in November 2013 after the 2005 Porsche Carrera he was travelling in as a passenger crashed at high speed shortly after leaving a charity event in Valencia, California. The driver, Roger Rodas, was also killed.

Meadow, Walker’s 18-year-old daughter, filed the suit in 2015, claiming the car had a faulty seat belt, which ultimately resulted in Walker being burnt alive. She also claims that German manufacturer Porsche acknowledged the car’s safety issues prior to the car accident.  Meadow received $10.1 million in a 2016 settlement with the estate of driver Roger Rhodas.

According to a report by The Blast, both parties reached a settlement on 16 October. The terms of the dismissal agreement are confidential.
