Bruce Jenner's Escalade ran into a Lexus that had ALREADY hit a Prius in front of it, according to police. [View all] pnwmom Feb 2015 OP

Sounds like it wasn't his fault. Egnever Feb 2015 #1

That's the reason, I'm sure, that he's getting so much attention from paparazzi lately. pnwmom Feb 2015 #2

When you rear end someone, how can it not be your fault? Major Nikon Feb 2015 #17

If lexus hit prius... RichGirl Feb 2015 #20

I don't think there's any dispute that Jenner's vehicle drove the Lexus into oncoming traffic Major Nikon Feb 2015 #24

Courts often spread the responsibility around in a multi-car accident. pnwmom Feb 2015 #120

I was thinking that too. Reminded me of a police manuever Gin Feb 2015 #40

That's true - maybe the Lexus bounced off the prius cwydro Feb 2015 #44

There have been questions raised about whether paparazzi helped cause the accident. pnwmom Feb 2015 #5

It's been proven that the pap weren't chasing him. RichGirl Feb 2015 #26

Proven? trumad Feb 2015 #35

They were following him, but he wasn't trying to outrun them. LisaL Feb 2015 #48

They take pics at long distances...with telephoto lenses. RichGirl Feb 2015 #67

Not "proven." An investigation has barely started and the evidence is pnwmom Feb 2015 #83

There are multiple pictures of Jenner in the seconds before & after the accident. Paparazzi clearly peacebird Feb 2015 #126

This doesn't fit the definition of vehicular homicide in California. kwassa Feb 2015 #104

Not unless they can prove criminal negligence. pnwmom Feb 2015 #110

FFS, are you serious? nt Logical Feb 2015 #23

Looks like smoking Lonusca Feb 2015 #107

Right. The photo supports his innocence of a criminal act. Smoking isn't criminal. n/t pnwmom Feb 2015 #115

I don't think there is anything criminal about this Lonusca Feb 2015 #132

tmz has corrected that. Look at their site now. pnwmom Feb 2015 #114

There's no evidence yet that he was texting. What he was holding was a cigarette, pnwmom Feb 2015 #113

Not really. One of my closest friend's daughter was killed by a guy running a red at 70 mph. Coventina Feb 2015 #53

No one on DU gave a damn about Jenner until about 3 weeks ago. alphafemale Feb 2015 #63

Are you serious???!!! AndreaCG Feb 2015 #128

It was unfair to cause the woman's death. Nice of you to forget about her. Think jtuck004 Feb 2015 #129

Jenner didn't kill her on purpose AndreaCG Feb 2015 #130

He got behind the wheel of a car and drove too fast and out of control. It is irrelevant jtuck004 Feb 2015 #131

No, it isn't. It is meant to say that driving too closely is common in CA, as are multi-car pile-ups pnwmom Feb 2015 #84

i don't really get this, i have driven when there was a stopped car in front of me that shouldn't JI7 Feb 2015 #10

This has NOTHING to do with him being transgendered. RichGirl Feb 2015 #34

I am not saying he should be given a pass dsc Feb 2015 #45

Jenner will not be charged for this death even though at fault. alphafemale Feb 2015 #62

Except there is no evidence yet that he was criminally at fault. n/t pnwmom Feb 2015 #123

Except the paps wouldn't have been tailing him if not for the recent transgender story. pnwmom Feb 2015 #122

You are right about that. RichGirl Feb 2015 #47

Not "homicide" unless you believe he intended to kill Ilsa Feb 2015 #51

No, an average person wouldn't be charged unless they did something criminal. pnwmom Feb 2015 #116

And Jenner was towing something, meaning he had more mass to control mainer Feb 2015 #29

Should have been watching the road. B Calm Feb 2015 #16

It's no different in Texas and they will cut in regardless Major Nikon Feb 2015 #93

I wouldn't care either except I do think about stopping distances. n/t pnwmom Feb 2015 #94
