LOS Angeles – US investigators plan to recommend prosecutors file a vehicular manslaughter charge against Caitlyn Jenner for her role in a fatal car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu last February.
Authorities found Jenner was driving “unsafe for the prevailing road conditions” because her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said on Thursday.
Jenner was hauling an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind her Cadillac Escalade on February 7 when she steered to avoid cars slowing for a traffic light in front of her on Pacific Coast Highway.
Jenner’s SUV rear-ended two cars, pushing a Lexus into oncoming traffic.
The Lexus driver, 69-year-old Kim Howe, was killed when her car was struck head on by a Hummer.
