Stella MD February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 I still find it an extremely bizarre coincidence that the paps just happened to have a camera crew right at that exact location on the opposite side of the street. Is that a major intersection where it would make sense for them to randomly set up show for a prolonged period? It seems really statistically improbable that they just happened to be filming at that second. Not saying that they were directly responsible, but maybe the Prius slowed to rubberneck at the cameras randomly set up on the opposite side? 2 Link to comment
ginger90 February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 I just want to get my hands on the so-called journalists from Yahoo who write these stories and slap them silly. The first article they did on the accident basically said "Bruce Jenner safe, one dead in accident." Phew, I'm sure glad Bruce was 'safe', because a woman losing her life wasn't as important to the story. But then, what do you expect when they make a story out of Kim cutting her hair? They don't run stories when an A-list celebrity cuts her hair, but famewhore Kim gets a headline. I'm so sick of Yahoo shoving that pathetic family down our throats with their reporting of every move the morons make. I saw articles that described what Bruce was wearing. For goodness sakes. I would hope the family of the woman killed has been notified by now. Pictures of her vehicle all over, and descriptions of the damage, certainly was coldhearted, imo . We see this many times with car accident reports. It makes me think of when a police officer is wounded, or killed. So many officer's families would be worried to death. Link to comment

SnarkKitty February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 I am sorry about the loss of your son. I lost my daughter a little over 5 years ago. No words. My heart goes out to you both. Another member here of "the club nobody wants to be a part of," six years and also vehicular. No words indeed. That's why I don't even care if he wasn't texting, he should still be charged with distracted driving for having a hand out the window smoking. Both hands on the damned wheel while driving, you stand a better chance of reacting to something so sudden. (I know there's no law against it, but there should be. No different than holding a phone to your ear IMO.) I saw articles that described what Bruce was wearing. For goodness sakes. I would hope the family of the woman killed has been notified by now.

MsDiva2007 February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 I love how TMZ is suddenly the legal experts and say it's unlikely Bruce will be charged with anything. Anytime I've seen a multiple car crash like that, everyone got charged. Following too close, failure to signal, etc., etc. I am insurance agent and each car that rear-ended another vehicle will probably receive a surcharge on their insurance for an at fault accident. It will depend on how much damage property wise if it is deemed by their company as a surcharge-able accident. Link to comment

Quof February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Again, people are confusing civil liability, motor vehicle infractions, and criminal charges. Bruce would no doubt be found at least partially at fault if he were sued civilly. He might even receive a ticket for some motor vehicle infraction - following too closely, speeding, texting if that is proven... But no way in hell will he be charged with a crime, such as manslaughter. 2 Link to comment
grisgris February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Isn't PCH heavily traveled, such as bumper-to-bumper traffic? (At least that's the way it's depicted on TV.) That really wouldn't give anybody a chance to slow down or come to a complete halt. It sounds like the driver of the Prius was the one who caused the accident. Bruce and the deceased woman were just reacting. Not only was Bruce piloting that heavy Escalade, but, also the trailer with the ATV on it. It must have been the sheer weight that propelled the Lexus from a stopping position into the oncoming lane of traffic. Wouldn't it also have pushed the Prius? Those look like fairly lightweight cars. 1 Link to comment

Physics more than anything else would have sent it spinning left. Bruce apparently braked and steered hard right to try and avoid her (all the rear damage to her is on the right side) and it created a PIT and the Lexus span off sideways to the other side(like a pool ball being clipped) and unfortunately the Hummer was coming the other way. He was lucky that the SUV/trailer didn't jack knife . Agree about how it will weigh on him .Remember Bruce's brother Burt was killed by a drunk driver .

perfectstorm February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 (edited) The sole fatality from the four-car accident involving Bruce Jenner on Saturday, Feb. 7 has been identified as Kim Howe, The Los Angeles Times reports. Howe was a neighbor of the famous Kardashian-Jenner clan, who live in Calabasas, Calif. She was 69 at the time of her death. Howe was driving her Lexus when she collided with a Toyota Prius that had slowed down, and Jenner then rear-ended her Lexus with his Cadillac Escalade, causing Howe’s car to go into oncoming traffic. https://celebrity.yahoo.com/news/bruce-jenner-crash-fatality-victim-identified-kardashians-neighbor-195000249-us-weekly.html Edited February 10, 2015 by ifoundit Link to comment

blubld43 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 If he's mid transition, which jail does he go to? Any person arrested while transitioning will be housed according to their physical genitalia. So if Bruce has his penis, he goes to the men's jail. I watch those jail/prison shows. Most lockups these days seem to have assigned dorms for gay/transgender inmates. I did see one with a transgender woman, she had implanted breasts, had been on hormones, etc, but because she still had a penis she was in the mens dorm, breasts and all. Link to comment

grisgris February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Not necessarily. Not having a driver's license and/or insurance doesn't cause a person to have a traffic accident. If a person caused a traffic accident and was found to be without a license and/or insurance, then that would certainly factor into assessing fines and/or sentencing. 1 Link to comment
Mu Shu February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 You don't go to jail if you're following too closely and have an at fault accident unless you're DUI or it can be proven you deliberately caused the crash, which is pretty hard to do. It was an accident, and almost all accidents have an element of careless driving on all the driver's parts who were involved. Just getting behind the wheel means you have accepted a certain amount of culpability. Bruce isn't going to jail. Since he's Bruce Jenner, he likely is well insured and that will be the end of the issue. Damn Bruce, this is a wake up call. Drop off the earth, go somewhere where you can live your life in peace and privacy. These Kardashians are succubuses. (succubi?) 1 Link to comment
Joe Jitsu913 February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 I work in the insurance industry... Bruce wouldn't go to jail unless there was a criminal act (DUI, etc). This is a civil issue. As for the un-licensed driver, she may have borrowed someone else's car and/or took the car without the owner's knowledge. Or her license could have been recently revoked and her insurer wasn't notified. I don't know how California insurance law works, but typically you don't get insurance unless you have a valid driver's license. I've only had limited claims exposure to California insurance policies but the ones I have dealt with only have basic coverage. 1 Link to comment

Unless she has a relative who sues on her behalf, I would think even Bruce's civil liability is limited. Her husband allegedly died two days after they closed on their house in Calabases in 2003. The news article says she was wealthy. The pics of the.moment of impact clearly show she was wearing a seat belt. How sad that the last seconds of her life were captured that way. I feel for Bruce. I wouldn't want to have to live with that memory. I'm glad his daughters weren't so bothered or concerned that they had to sacrifice a night of partying to keep him company. It may have taken him a few hours to really feel the full emotional impact. At least Brody and his GF were there at the scene. 1 Link to comment

The Ascension February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 I feel badly for Bruce. Gah, driving really is so scary. You get in your car so often, it can become mundane and thoughtless, but really every time you drive you have to be SO careful and alert, and hope everyone else on the road with you is also alert and knows what they’re doing. I can imagine Bruce having a really hard time with this. He is a good person. Kim would probably be like “oh these accident scene pictures are another chance for my outfit to be seen”. I wonder if this will affect his transition? I admit I don’t know much, but from the little I have read since Bruce’s news, there’s a psych eval and this accident could really mess with him mentally (as it would anyone!) and I wonder if it would possibly derail some aspects of the transition. 2 Link to comment
Fostersmom February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 You know your (my) news sources are messed up when you use Bruce as a teaching point. I had dinner with my mom last night and as we were getting ready to leave, she started telling about a car accident her boyfriend's sister was in over the weekend. The sister was driving along on a road that's kind of hilly and curvy. We had some ice, snow, and some warmer temps making everything a mess. The sister came up behind a car that had tried inching up a hill, but lost momentum and stopped dead. A third car came flying up behind them and smashed the sister's car in the middle. Luckily the sister was driving a giant classic Caddy, built like a tank, and was okay. The car, not so much. But I was like OMG, that's how Bruce Jenner just killed someone (not that I think it was all Bruce's fault, but you know what I mean). Later at dinner my mom started telling me she felt bad for the 2 youngest girls, that Bruce shouldn't be transitioning because of them. Um, I'm pretty sure those girls are better prepared than any of his kids, they've basically grown up with him making changes. Link to comment

I can't remember where I read this, but it recent - that Bruce had wanted to transition for years but wanted to wait until the 2 girls were old enough to handle it. That makes sense to me. If Page Six can be believed, his transition is on hold as a result of the accident. He is going through with the documentary, the Sawyer interview, but the "wider process" has slowed down. In addition, the article says filming on KUWTK has been put on hold this week, as E network decides how to deal with the accident. http://pagesix.com/2015/02/11/bruce-jenner-puts-the-brakes-on-transition-after-deadly-crash/ Link to comment

If you watch Judge Judy, there are hundreds of thousands driving without licenses and or insurance.

Fostersmom February 12, 2015 Share February 12, 2015 Yes, having a drivers license is a good thing and legally required, but unless either of them lost their license due to some kind of moving violation, it's sadly not all that relevant. Let's say the older woman never did anything wrong while driving, no tickets, no nothing, just didn't renew it. It's not like you have to do anything special to renew other than show up, pass the eye exam, and fork over the money. Now, if she didn't renew because she was half blind, thats different.

A good example of why we shouldn't believe one word that comes from his surgically-altered mouth. One day he's so self-righteously adamant that he wasn't using a cell-phone while driving, the next he's using a cell-phone while driving. He has no regard for anyone but himself. Only a self-absorbed egomaniac would get behind the wheel and start chatting on the phone mere days after being involved in a fatal car accident. This is why I take everything he says with a huge grain of salt, including his latest protest that the upcoming TV show about his "journey" (God, I'm sick of that word already) isn't for the money or publicity. Bull-shit. I think he has zero concern for anyone's interests but his own. Transgender people have slowly but surely gaining traction in the last year or so when it comes to broader acceptance.

I saw a headline today "Bruce Jenner about to reveal his female name." This vain insistence on force-feeding every step of his "journey" to the public -- just as he's been doing by making himself available to paparazzi following every little surgery -- demonstrates that the real journey is straight to the bank. The average transgender person faces public scorn, violence at the hands of strangers, loss of family and friends, loss of job and the very real possibility that they won't be able to get hired again. What's Bruce Jenner's risk in these regards? Pretty low. He's got money, security, and legions of sycophants to boost his self esteem. His "journey" will be anything but typical. The impression he gives America of transgender life will be about as far from reality as it gets. Like Gwyneth Paltrow offering meal-planning advice to ordinary moms. There are plenty of other better-qualified individuals to educate America about the transgender experience. People who have never sought fame nor tried to exploit their situation but have done their best to be who they are and integrate into mainstream society. What a shame that they will never be heard from and instead the job is left to the Kardashian media machine.

Yeah, you don't get an automatic pass on being an asshat just because you're trans. We've played out this drama with gays, African-Americans, and every other oppressed group, where we reach the tipping point where we're obliged to learn to balance them as individuals and the wrongs they may do with the great issues behind the right of the TYPE of person they are to be treated decently. And inevitably we always come around to this--that jerks exist in every walk of life. Jenner smells of jerk, and that's the bottom line. Him being transgender is secondary to that. 4 Link to comment

The latest headlines cite a "source" announcing that Jenner's transition is "on hold" as a result of the crash. What overblown sense of self-importance leads a person who survives a fatal accident and whose role in the accident -- due to negligence or not -- contributed to the fatality, to announce to the world only a few days later that his sex-change plans (which should never have become a public matter in the first place) are now "on hold," as though he is somehow a victim himself. Why can't he just shut up and stop making it about him? 1 Link to comment

ennui February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 I guess the video has been released? That Bruce hit the white Lexus, and then continued on to hit the black Prius? It kind of goes with what I thought, that towing a vehicle, even a small one, makes it harder to stop. What a mess. Link to comment
mwell345 February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 OK - this cannot possibly be true.....No way http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/02/19/bruce-jenner-vogue-cover-gender-transition-reveal/ "Bruce Jenner has some huge plans to reveal his gender-transition! HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that the former Olympian wants to follow in Kim and Kanye’s footsteps and achieve his ‘dream’ of landing the cover of ‘Vogue!’" Link to comment
Tunia February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 ^^^If true, any sympathy I may have felt for him over his horrible accident is gone. He's just another famewhore like the rest of his disgusting family. And IF Vogue does go along with this, well - how the mighty have fallen. Vogue is already in the process of lowering its status with the Kimye cover. This would destroy it completely. My objection isn't over the subject matter; rather, it's about the personalities involved. Pity. 1 Link to comment
Kromm February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 Really, it doesn't make any sense. Vogue is ridiculous, but if they're going to feature a transgender person on the cover (not an impossibility) it's not going to be crusty old Bruce Jenner. Link to comment
howmanywords February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 I dont think Hollywood Life has the best track record for stories like that. TMZ or Radar I would buy before them. Hollywood Life I've read a lot of fabricated and/or embellished stories. And even if Bruce WANTED that its a huge leap from wanting that to Vogue actually giving him his way. That whole article talks about how Bruce has his heart set on it, nowhere does it say Vogue is even considering it. Honestly? Right now I think Bruce has bigger things to think about if this new crash video is as revealing as many are saying. He might want to dream about avoiding manslaughter charges rather than being a cover model. 4 Link to comment
ennui February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I'd think Vanity Fair, not Vogue. I don't believe the story. Link to comment
