The 2011 crash killed a 23-year-old nanny and a 6-month-old boy. The boy's 3-year-old brother was seriously hurt

A suit has been settled in connection with a 2011 crash that killed a nanny and an infant, and left another child seriously injured, according to a report.

The Bauer family will receive an additional $533,503, pushing the total amount in settlement money in the Aberdeen crash to $2.13 million, according to NJLawJournal.com

The crash on Church Street on Sept. 6 killed Janine Hayes, a 23-year-old nanny driving a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 6-month-old Gabriel Bauder, one of the two Holmdel brothers in her care. 

A 3-year-old boy in the car was left with permanent injuries, the law journal said. 

Severely worn rear tires contributed to the crash, according to the lawsuit. A technician at STS Tire in Hazlet only recommended replacing one tire.

The children's mother, Anna Bauder, settled in 2015 with B&G Gulf in Holmdel for $1.6 million. That service station also was accused of failing to tell the Bauders about the condition of the tires.

The $533,000 settlement includes $283,503 from Hayes' estate and the remaining amount from STS, the report said. 

Settled in December, the case was filed in Essex County because STS does business there, according to the report. STS is now known as Mavis Discount Tire.
