Former Olympic Bruce Jenner was involved in a four-car crash that killed one in Malibu, California, on Saturday, USA Today reports. Jenner, who is soon expected to speak with Diane Sawyer about transitioning to live as a woman, was not injured, according to his publicist Alan Nierob. USA Today has more details:
The crash occurred at approximately 12:12 pm Pacific time in the town of Malibu, at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Corral Canyon Road, said Sgt. Matthew Dunn of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Jenner was going north when his black Cadillac Escalade rear-ended a Lexus sedan that had just struck the back of a black Toyota Prius, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Philip Brooks said. The Lexus veered into oncoming traffic in a southbound lane and collided head-on with a black Hummer.
The driver of the Lexus — a woman in her 70s — was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dunn said the crash is currently under investigation.
Jenner, who stars in the hit E! reality series “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” complied with police when asked to take a sobriety test, according to USA Today and TMZ, which posted video of what it claims is the Jenner performing the tasks.
TMZ also reports that Jenner family sources have denied Jenner was inebriated in any way at the time of the crash.
Police also said paparazzi were not a factor in the accident, contrary to earlier reports, adds USA Today.
