Arnold Schwarzenegger has one less legal battle over his driving to worry about.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a woman named Joanne Flickinger has dropped her civil lawsuit against the Terminator star over a 2023 crash.

Flickinger claimed the entertainer had been speeding and failed to keep a proper lookout.
Her lawsuit demanded unspecified damages for her alleged pain and suffering — along with reimbursement for medical bills. In response, Schwarzenegger denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

Schwarzenegger claimed any alleged injuries she suffered were caused by third parties outside of his control. His response asked the court, “that in the event [he is] found liable to [Flickinger], said liability should be reduced by the percentage of fault attributable to [Flickinger], and all other parties, persons, firms, corporations, and entities
