A spokesman for the family of Sarah Jones, the camera assistant killed on "Midnight Rider" set, announced on Wednesday, November 19 that they had reached a settlement with some of the defendants in the wrongful death lawsuit. Director Randall Miller, who called on the doomed filming, is included in the settlement.

Jones was killed in a train accident this February when Miller was shooting a full scene at a train trestle in Georgia. It was found out later that he had no permission to film there. Jones' parents launched a lawsuit against the filmmakers, producers and corporations but dismissed some of them last month.

The terms of the settlement are confidential. Miller's wife Jody Savin who serves as a producer is also named in the settlement along with the film's location manager, Charley Baxter, and other producers. The settlement excludes CSX Transportation, Meddin Studios LLC and executive producer Jeffrey N. Gant of Meddin Studios.

"Richard and Elizabeth Jones' objectives in filing this lawsuit, after the death of their 27-year-old daughter, Sarah, have been clear and unwavering," Jones family attorney Jeff Harris said in a statement. "To find out what happened on the day of their daughter's death, determine who was responsible, hold those who made bad decisions accountable and ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again on another film set. Today, we are another step closer to fully achieving those objectives."

The trial for Miller, Savin, producer Jay Sedrish and first assistant director Hillary Schwartz are still scheduled to take place in March.
