Bruce Jenner Crash: MTA Bus Footage Could Work Against Reality Star In Deadly Malibu Pileup
Feb. 18 2015, Published 1:14 p.m. ET
Bruce Jenner hit both the Lexus and the Prius in the deadly Feb. 7 Malibu pileup, video footage taken from an MTA bus reveals.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, authorities said that a 2010 Toyota Prius driver by Jessica Marie Steindorff was the first vehicle rear-ended in the crash on Pacific Coast Highway, triggering a domino effect that saw Jenner’s black Cadillac Escalade barrel into a Lexus driven by Kim Howe, the 69-year-old widow who died after her luxury vehicle careened into the path of an oncoming Hummer H2.
But on the MTA clip -- which police have and are examining -- footage shows Jenner, 65, in his Escalade hitting first the Lexus, then the Prius, according to online reports, which could hurt the Olympian if it helps law enforcement come to the conclusion that he was (illegally) following too closely.
In addition, the bus footage shows no contact between the Prius and Lexus, as investigators had previously said was the case.
Jenner -- who has put his gender transformation journey on the back burner while dealing with the fallout of the fatal collision -- had already hired an accident reconstruction expert to put the pieces together in the tragic auto incident.
If he is found guilty of criminally negligence in the chain of crashes, he could be prone to felony charges and jail time.
