Bruce Jenner Crash: Texting, Cell Phone Records Could Be Sought
One woman was killed in the four-vehicle crash.
— -- Police investigating the fatal four-car crash involving Bruce Jenner will likely ask for texting and cell phone records from the Olympic gold medalist and the other drivers, officials said today.
"There are a few photos I believe shot by papparazzi that show Mr. Jenner holding a cellphone. Whether or not he was actively texting or talking during the time of collision, hasn't been determined," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Philip Brooks said.
He said that if investigators decide they want to see the cell phone activity, the information would be sought from all the drivers involved in the crash, and said Jenner was not considered a suspect in the crash.
"No, he's just a party to the crash," Brooks said.
"The problem is pinpointing the time of the accident," Brooks said, regarding whether phone records would be any help in determining the cause of the crash. "If the accident occurred at 12:05 and 30 seconds, or 12:05 and 40 seconds, if you hung up before that, that's useless information."
Jenner was being followed by paparazzi, but did not appear to be attempting to evade them before he was involved in the chain-reaction crash Saturday afternoon in Malibu, California, according to police.
He was uninjured in the crash, his rep told ABC News.
"My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident," Jenner said in a statement released Sunday evening. "It is a devastating tragedy and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible."
A woman driving a Lexus rear-ended another car, police said. Jenner's SUV then hit the Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic, where it hit a Humvee.
The driver of the Lexus was killed, while five people inside the Humvee suffered non-life threatening injuries, police said.
Jenner cooperated with investigators, police said. He passed a field sobriety test and then voluntarily submitted a blood sample to determine whether he was intoxicated.
"He did not appear intoxicated or under the influence of anything at the time," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Philip Brooks.
Jenner - a 1976 Olympic gold medalist - is one of the stars of the reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which for the past eight years has documented Jenner raising daughters Kendall and Kylie with now ex-wife Kris Jenner.
Jenner is also father to four other children -- Brody, Burt, Brandon and Casey -- and step-father to Kris Jenner's children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian.
