The daughter of the late Fast and The Furious actor Paul Walker has reached a settlement with the estate of the man driving the car in which he and the star died in 2013.

Meadow Walker received $10.1m from the estate of Roger Rodas, who was the driver of the 2005 Porsche Carerra when the car crashed into trees in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles.

According to BBC News, the money will be held in trust for Meadow, who is 17 years old.

The settlement is “fraction of what her father would have earned as an international movie star had his life not been tragically cut short”.

It was decided in 2014, but has only come to light now because it was filed under another name.

Meadow is also suing Porsche AG for being “responsible for producing a vehicle that was defective and caused Paul Walker’s death”.

LA police have said that the crash was caused by excessive speeding.
