Paul Walker’s daughter, Meadow Walker, has settled her wrongful death lawsuit with Porsche two years after claiming the car company was responsible for her father's November 2013 death.

According to documents obtained by multiple outlets, Meadow and the luxury car company settled under undisclosed terms which will be kept confidential. Paul’s father has also since settled a lawsuit with the car company.

The Fast & the Furious star died at the age of 40 when the Porsche Carrera GT he was riding in crashed into a tree near a charity event in Santa Clarita, California, and burst into flames. Both Paul and the driver, his friend Roger Rodas, were pronounced dead at the scene. 

Meadow claimed in her lawsuit that the car's engine and lack of safety features prevented her dad from surviving the crash. According to the lawsuit, Paul was trapped due to the seat belt design and was alive for a full minute and 20 seconds after the crash, until the car "erupted into flames" and he died.
