Lane Garrison Settles with Crash Victims

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 2:40PM by TMZ Staff

Lane GarrisonLane Garrison has reached a financial settlement with the parents of the 17-year-old kid he killed in a drunken car crash back in 2006.

We've also learned the former "Prison Break" star has reached a financial settlement with one of the survivors of the crash, Michelle Ohana.

The exact amount that he paid both parties is confidential.

Garrison is still behind bars, serving out his 40 month sentence for vehicular manslaughter and two other alcohol related charges.

The parents of Vahagn Setian had filed a civil suit against the actor last year -- demanding payment for wrongful death and gross negligence.

Ohana, who was 15 at the time of the crash, was injured so badly, she spent the following 2 months in a wheelchair.

7. I kinda like this guy...yes he made a huge mistake where someone lost their life....from day one I have heard nothing but remorse from Lane and sincerley believe he was very sorry for his actions...here a young man who stepped up admitted he was wrong...he took his consequences like a man should. Now that he has settled with the family...let him go on with his life. unlike most celebs...at least he owned up to what he's done.

8. Screw you on your world hunger crap David. It has nothing to do with this story, plus the U.S. gives more money than any other country.

Bite me.

9. While, it is certainly SAD that a 17 yr old lost his life to a stupid decision, where were the parents when their 17 YR OLD SON was out partying? Parents should take more responsibility for their kids......That's right, 17 yrs old is still a KID!

11. I think that this is really sad. They knowingly got into the car with him to get him to a party because of his celebrity status but then everyone gets pissed when something tragic happens. Yes, it is very sad but they knowingly got into a car to party further with him. You cannot punish him for that. His actions were wrong but just like Nick Hogan's friends actions that left him in a vegetative state, they knowingly got into the car and enjoyed every moment until something bad happens. His punishment is far too severe for this. YET AGAIN, THEY KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY GOT INTO THE CAR TO HANG WITH A CELEBRITY. Lane has not gotten a fair hand in this situation in this either.

15. So its 3 years basically for killing someone when driving drunk? I thought manslaughter was a bit more severe than that.....
