Bruce Jenner unlikely to be charged in fatal car accident. [View all]

He was following too closely -- which is against the law though almost everyone on that highway does it -- but following the speed limit.

Bruce Jenner was within legal hauling weight during his fatal car accident in Malibu in February — making a misdemeanor manslaughter charge even less likely than before, a law enforcement source told the Daily News Thursday.

The former Olympian's Cadillac Escalade showed no problems with its brakes or steering during a review by California Highway Patrol investigators, and the trailer and off-road vehicle he was hauling were weighed and found to be well below the maximum allowed, the source said.

Jenner's phone records also confirmed what his lawyer previously said — that the star of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" was not texting at the time of the tragic crash.

Jenner, 65, passed a field sobriety test at the scene and had no alcohol in his system, police sources previously confirmed.
