Anton Yelchin attends the Tribeca Film Festival world premiere of “The Driftless Area” in New York in April 2015. A confidential settlement between Victor and Irina Yelchin and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which manufactures the Jeep Grand Cherokee that crushed Yelchin, was filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court. “Anton Yelchin was crushed and lingered alive for some time, trapped and suffocating until his death,” the lawsuit states. “Star Trek” fans were hit with a sense of loss upon realizing that they wouldn’t again see Chekov on screen. But a new, different, design was used in the cars affected by the recall, which include certain recent models of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
