Members of a Southern California family who suffered serious injuries in a fatal traffic collision involving Caitlyn Jenner earlier this year sued the Olympic gold medalist Friday. The Wolf-Milesi family of Malibu sued Jenner in Los Angeles Superior Court for negligence in the February crash, which killed one woman after Jenner’s vehicle rear-ended her car and pushed it into oncoming traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway. A sport utility vehicle driven by Peter Wolf-Milesi struck a car driven by Kim Howe, killing her. The lawsuit states the four members of the Wolf-Milesi family and another occupant of their vehicle suffered serious injuries in the crash. Peter Wolf-Milesi suffered serious wrist injuries and his 1-month-old son was unresponsi­ve after the accident, according to the lawsuit. Wolf-Milesi’s wife also suffered blunt-force injuries and requires ongoing treatment, the suit states. “The emotional effects of being involved in a collision that has taken the life of another has caused tremendous distress and suffering for the Wolf-Milesi family,” the suit states. Jenner’s publicist, Alan Nierob, declined comment Friday. Sheriff’s investigat­ors determined Jenner was traveling at an unsafe speed for the traffic conditions. Prosecutor­s declined to file a vehicular- manslaught­er charge against Jenner, 66, who was born Bruce Jenner. The accident occurred before Jenner announced she is transgende­r and transition­ed into her new identity as Caitlyn. Jenner also is facing lawsuits by Howe’s stepchildr­en and the driver of the other car involved in the collision.

Jim Irsay, the Indianapol­is Colts owner, made a pricey purchase Friday, picking up Ringo Starr’s first Ludwig drum set at auction for $1.75 million. “Finally, after 45 years, the Beatles are together again,” Irsay said in a text message. Irsay owns prominent guitars from the group’s other three members — Paul McCartney, the late George Harrison and the late John Lennon. Earlier this year, Irsay also purchased a drumhead that will fit the set he just bought. Irsay is a huge music fan and an avid collector. He owns roughly 30 famous guitars, including instrument­s used by Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia and Eric Clapton.
