"Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and former Olympic champion Bruce Jenner was involved in a car crash on Saturday in Malibu, California. The multicar collision left seven people injured and an elderly woman dead.
Jenner is uninjured, as informed by his agent, Alan Nierob. The crash, reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, happened near Corral Canyon Road at the Pacific Coast Highway in Los Angeles around noon, Saturday.
Jenner is seen at the accident site "surveying the wreckage and speaking with emergency responders."
Deputy Ray Hicks mentions Jenner answering questions, says Fox 31 Denver.
One speculation for the crash is that Jenner was trying to evade paparazzi, but Sgt. Philip Brooks of the Sheriff's Department denied the rumors.
NY Times reports: "Mr. Jenner, Sergeant Brooks said, was driving a black Cadillac Escalade and pulling a trailer with a dune buggy. In halting traffic, a white Lexus sedan apparently struck a Prius that had slowed or stopped. Mr. Jenner hit the white sedan from the rear, and it veered into oncoming traffic, where it was struck head-on by the Hummer."
Five injured children and two adults were sent to a nearby hospital, while the driver of the white sedan, an elderly woman, has been pronounced dead.
Investigations are ongoing as to what the reason for the accident is. A vehicular manslaughter investigation has allegedly been opened up for the case, which will focus on everyone involved. Jenner volunteered for drug and alcohol tests. It was Jenner's car that has apparently "rear-ended a driver who veered into oncoming traffic and died," Daily Mail mentions.
Also on the scene of the incident was Jenner's son, Brody, along with his girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter. Brody is reported looking "visibly upset" and looking "shocked and saddened."
Nearby, Jenner is photographed "slumped in the driver's seat of his Cadillac Escalade while discussing what happened with a Sheriff's deputy."
