According to reports and eyewitnesses, Bruce’s Cadillac Escalade crashed into the back of another vehicle which then veered into oncoming traffic.
Seven were injured in the pile up, including five children, and one woman tragically lost her life.
Several news sources have now reported that the deceased was a neighbour of the Kardashian family, and she has been named locally as 69-year-old Kim Howe, though this has not been formally confirmed.
After testing Bruce’s sobriety at the scene, police are now looking into mobile phone records of the four drivers to determine if any of them were distracted ahead of the crash.
It is though that after Bruce rear-ended the victim’s white Lexus, the car veered into oncoming traffic and the path of a Hummer.
Bruce’s son Brody Jenner rushed to the scene of the crash to comfort his father on Saturday, accompanied by girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter. Other members of the Kardashian clan were seen getting into their cars to rush to each other’s side after the news broke.
