I have to admit, I was not even aware that Bruce Jenner was part of the Kardashian clan. Shows you how much I indulge in celebrity gossip. I was fractured when I heard Jenner was getting a sex change – it blew away my Wheaties image of a gold medalist swimmer. One more childhood memory down the toilet. Then Jenner is involved in this accident which kills a 69 year-old widow. At first, he blamed it on the paparazzi. That didn’t hold up. Now a recreation of the accident has been released. It shows Jenner following far too closely at high speeds… then hitting the Lexus, propelling it into the path of the oncoming Hummer. Jenner then proceeds to hit a Prius. His prayers and apologies don’t look too sincere to me and they certainly won’t bring back the dead.
Bruce Jenner surveys the crash scene: An MTA bus traveling behind the Hummer involved is reported to have captured the entire incident on mounted cameras, evidence that is now in the hands of the police.
A white Lexus was pushed into the path of a Hummer coming the other way, leaving the vehicle a crumpled wreck and the sole occupant, 69-year-old Kim Howe, dead.
From the Daily Mail:
New video evidence in the Bruce Jenner car crash incident could spell trouble for the transitioning reality star following the four-car incident that left one person dead and seven injured on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, earlier this month.
An MTA bus traveling behind the Hummer involved is reported to have captured the entire incident on mounted cameras, evidence that is now in the hands of the police.
The footage, which has been reconstructed, shows the 65-year-old former Olympian smash his Cadillac Escalade into the back of both the victim’s white Lexus and the Toyota Prius involved.
Most significantly the video shows that the Lexus driver didn’t make contact with the Prius involved, reports TMZ.
Sources familiar with the video told TMZ that Jenner hits the Lexus, propelling it into a Hummer coming the other way. Jenner then continues on and hits the Prius.
If correct, the MTA video makes a more compelling case that Jenner was following too close, which opens the door to a possible vehicular manslaughter prosecution, claims TMZ.

According to previous reports, the Lexus had been in Jenner’s path after coming to a halt when it hit a Prius travelling ahead.
The Lexus was then pushed into the path of a Hummer coming the other way, leaving the vehicle a crumpled wreck and the sole occupant, 69-year-old Kim Howe, dead.
The Kardashian family patriarch, who escaped the crash unscathed, took a roadside sobriety test in front of officers in the wake of the collision, which he passed.
This latest evidence suggests that rather than the chain reaction being caused by the victim’s Lexus hitting the Prius in front of her, Jenner may have hit both cars, claims TMZ.
Law enforcement sources told the celebrity news site that one operating theory is that the Prius had been stopped behind cars and, as a traffic light turned green, vehicles began moving.
It was at this point, sources say, that Jenner rear-ended the Lexus and when the Lexus cleared his lane, his car kept moving and crashed into the Prius.
TMZ reported that police say when Jenner hit the Lexus, it veered left while his Escalade moved to the right.
Detectives in Malibu have opened a vehicular homicide investigation. If any of the drivers in the crash are found criminally negligent, felony charges could be filed – which carry a sentence of up to six years in prison.
Jenner walked away without a scratch. Figures. All his money and fame probably can’t get him entirely off the hook on this one though. If convicted of manslaughter, he could get six years. If a judge and jury are fans, he may get off with far less. That’s not equal justice under the law – it’s justice for the rich and famous. Here’s how I think it will go down. He’ll get a substantial fine, community service, his license revoked and probably a lengthy parole. Jenner will also get the hell sued out of him by family members of the woman who died and the others that were involved in the accident. Aside from going all transsexual freaky on us, Jenner will again fade into obscurity. But the families of the dead and injured will remember. How could they not?

Jenner’s Cadillac Escalade hit the back of the victim’s white Lexus on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, which caused a chain reaction that resulted in the luxury sedan veering into oncoming traffic.
