Morgan Freeman settles crash lawsuit…

-
AP-Oscar winner Morgan Freeman has reached an out-of-court settlement with a woman who was his passenger in a car crash and later sued him, court documents showed on Thursday.

Details of Freeman’s settlement with Demaris Meyer, the passenger in the August 2008 crash, were not made public in court records, and a spokesman for the actor said that no further details would be disclosed.

But as a result of the settlement, Chief Judge Michael Mills of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Mississippi, dismissed the lawsuit on Thursday.

Meyer sued Freeman, 72, star of “The Bucket List” and “Bruce Almighty,” in February, accusing him of negligence for failing to properly operate the car. She was represented by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.

In a statement, Allred said Meyer “is pleased that the matter is resolved and the case is settled.”
