Eyewitnesses say Bruce rear ended the white car and that car went into oncoming traffic and was struck by the Hummer.... The woman driving the white car died.At the link: photos of the impassive face of the athlete/reality TV star/transgender icon alongside the horrifically wrecked car.
Is this, too, grist for reality television?

What are the odds that someone in a Reality TV series is also involved in a fatal accident?
Pretty small, I'd say, but coincidences do happen.
One would think a former IMSA Camel GT driver would know better than to tailgate, presuming that's root cause. A friend was a mechanic for Jenner Racing circa early-mid 80s.
Today, I saw someone talking on the telephone while ice skating.
The article said he was being pursued by 5 paparazzi at the time of the accident, and someone took those pictures of the accident itself.
I hope they (the paparazzi) get charged with manslaughter if indeed it is shown they somehow were complicit in this accident ocurring.
The only thing that saved him was Kim's butt. Better than an airbag.
"Orange is the new gender"
"The article said he was being pursued by 5 paparazzi at the time of the accident..."
You think that could be exculpatory?
My understanding is that if you rear-end somebody, you are at fault.
Not even the transphobic cult can save him now.
Is it paparazzi "chasing" or public figures overreacting?
He might want to be a woman, but he's not Princess Diana.
Well, I suppose I'm obliged to be the first to say it: Jenner's transition has proceeded so far that he's driving like a woman.
Well everything real or imagined with that crew is used as a stunt to make money. Being followed by the paparazzi is what they've fostered and thrived on. You can't just decide to shut it off.
My understanding is that if you rear-end somebody, you are at fault.
That used to be everyone's opinion, and then the whole gay rights movement came along....
It's terrible that a woman died. If Jenner is a fault, I hope the family sues.
@Gathie: The jokes write themselves. I resisted.
Just when the eyes trained on Bruce Jenner were turning gooey and oh-so-sympathetic...
Why that sentiment? I don't get that.
Any jokes about "women drivers *eyes roll*" would be in bad taste.
Perversions lead to perversions.
Why that sentiment? I don't get that.
Are you kidding? The only thing that would make the radical left happier is if Arnold Swarzenegger had a sex change.
Woman driver jokes are too obvious. Suge Knight comparisons are the way to go. There's a useful moral lesson to be learned from the disparate way we treat bizarre celebrities according to their race.

From a look at the photos, this is more evidence that if you are in an accident, the person in the bigger car is going to have a better outcome.
A moment of inattention could happen to anybody - keep the focus on the poor lady who died.
Yes, if you rear-end someone you are at fault, unless someone else crashed into you and slammed you into the forward vehicle.
Just a lesson to us all to drive more carefully.
"...unless someone else crashed into you and slammed you into the forward vehicle."
Is that even an excuse? Why were you close enough to the car in front of you that you could not stop?
The photo sequence (presumably all shot by one camera) show how far both cars moved during and after impact. I'll bet they're withholding even more grisly photos.
if he goes to jail can he demand that the state pay for his sex change?
Althouse: "Is that even an excuse? Why were you close enough to the car in front of you that you could not stop"
Physics is hard.
If he goes to jail will he be sent to a male prison or a female prison?
If he goes to a male prison then gets a sex change while in prison (is that possible) could he then be sent to a womans prison?
I'm going out on a limb here to express some sympathy for Bruce. The average person, if married to that lunatic wife of his, and constantly surrounded by the media circus she has created would spend a lot of time very distracted. More than one person will end up paying for that level of lunacy.
By the way, what the hell is Jenner pulling on that trailer? It looks like a midget racer. I didn't know s/he was into those too.
In a sane world, instead of people patting Bruce Jenner on the back these last few weeks, they would have gotten him the mental health treatment he clearly needs due to his detachment from reality.

So there were two wrecks... on multiples levels.
They will soon pass a law restricting the ability of paparazzi to chase celebrities, along the line of Diana's Law. They will name it after whatever the decathalete formerly known as Bruce Jenner calls "her" self.

Culpability is still to be determined, no?
"Culpability is still to be determined, no?"
Yes, but I'm guessing the paparazzi will be assigned partial fault.

He used to drive race cars in his younger days.....after the Olympics.
Ann - if someone rearends you, your car's brakes won't be sufficient to stop your car and the rear vehicle. The force is transmitted forward. That is basic physics, so yes it is an excuse unless you were driving recklessly.
Your brakes are designed to stop your vehicle, not two vehicles. Umless it's just a tap, you are going to be pushed far forward of your normal stopping distance - or, as this woman was, pushed out of your lane if the impact is at all off-kilter.
Jenner was towing a vehicle, so almost certainly couldn't stop - but that's his fault and look at the mass that was plowing into the woman's car relative to hers. If you are towing a vehicle you have to compensate - other drivers aren't able to do it for you.
"Eyewitnesses say Bruce rear ended the white car...."
It was a drafting error.
From "Yahoo Celebrity;"
Bruce Jenner is safe after surviving a horrific car crash that has left one person dead, Us Weekly can confirm. The incident occurred in Malibu, Calif., on the Pacific Coast Highway on Saturday, Feb. 7.
Photos show the Kardashian-Jenner patriarch standing near the three-vehicle collision while speaking with law enforcement. Appearing to have no injuries, the former Olympian, 65, was dressed casually at the scene with his long locks tied back in a ponytail and underneath a baseball cap.
Brian Williams, call your agent. There is a spot for you
If the person had only been injured I would be making numerous anal-sex jokes about Bruce Jenner 'tail-gating'.
But since the person died I believe this situation calls for greater decorum.
As such, I will continue to only make anal sex jokes involving Scarlett Johannson and Alyssa Milano.
Etiquette.
I am Laslo.
Scarlett Johannson and Alyssa Milano: anal sex jokes are funny.
Jessica Alba: hot also, but anal sex jokes with her aren't really that funny.
Taylor Swift is getting closer to funny.
I have a Theory for this.
I am Laslo.
What a sick fuck.
The police have said that the paparazzi vehicles were not the cause.
Thanks for the physics updates. I really don't know how much space you are supposed to leave to account for what might happen behind you or how causes of multiple rear endings are resolved. Obviously, there are these multi car pile ups. I have never looked into how the cases were adjudged.
"Is that even an excuse? Why were you close enough to the car in front of you that you could not stop?"
if your foot is not firmly on the break as it my not be if you are slowing but not stopped the force of the impact transfers to you. reaction time plus your foot's inertia being lifted by the impact would all factor into things.
He's become a woman driver. His transition is moving along well.
"they would have gotten him the mental health treatment he clearly needs due to his detachment from reality."
Jezus ! Now you're going to have us paying to treat the entire Democratic party !
Enough is enough !

Looks to me like a sprint car. Like Tony Stewart was driving when he killed that other driver.
Jenner's face screams BOTOX.
LA Times has an update:
A woman driving northbound in a Toyota Prius slowed down or stopped for reasons that were unclear. An elderly woman driving a Lexus sedan rear-ended the Prius.
Jenner, who was driving a black Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle that was hauling a trailer carrying an off-road vehicle, then rear-ended the Lexus.
Chris Paul was heard to say about Jenner, "Maybe this is just not for her."
Was Kriss Jenner doing her hair and make up while texting while driving ?
PCH is a tough drive. People drive inconsistently as they stare out at the ocean. There's also a lot of sudden stopping to make turns for parking along the street or pulling into driveways.
Was he possibly adjusting his makeup?
"Is this, too, grist for reality television?"
Not grist: lube.
I am Laslo.
Too soon to tell, but it kinda looks like he was turning to the right to avoid impact & wound up hitting the left rear of the car in front of him, which might explain why the impact sent it into oncoming traffic. If he'd hit her squarely, he might just have pushed her forward (unless her wheels were turned to the left for some reason).
HUMMER snort-giggle
But seriously, if one is driving a Hummer, why would one need to flee anything smaller than an Abrams?
