Kardashian dad and former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner has spoken up regarding the recent car crash he was involved in in Malibu, California.
He expressed his sympathies to the family of the woman who lost her life in the four-car crash.
"My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident," Jenner said in a statement to ABC News. "It is a devastating tragedy and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible."
Jenner, 65, was being trailed by the paparazzi on Saturday but police have yet to determine what caused his vehicle, an SUV, to hit a Lexus car. The Lexus had just hit a vehicle in front and was shunned by the knock from Jenner's car into oncoming traffic. The Lexus then crashed into a Humvee. The woman who was driving the Lexus died in the accident.
The five people inside the Humvee sustained non-life threatening injuries. Jenner himself was unharmed in the accident.
He is cooperating with police throughout the investigation, and passed a field sobriety test. He later voluntarily submitted a blood sample in order to determine whether he was intoxicated or not during the time of the accident.
"He did not appear intoxicated or under the influence of anything at the time," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Philip Brooks.
Police have yet to confirm if Jenner was texting during the time of the accident and are looking into his cell phone records. Jenner's publicist denied that her client was negligent during the accident and said that they would willingly provide cell phone records to the police if requested.
Brooks added that if investigators decide to check on the cell phone activity, they will collect the same information from all the drivers involved in the crash. "He's just a party to the crash," Brooks said. "The problem is pinpointing the time of the accident. If the accident occurred at 12:05 and 30 seconds, or 12:05 and 40 seconds, if you hung up before that, that's useless information."
