New video evidence in the Bruce Jenner car crash incident could spell trouble for the transitioning reality star following the four-car incident that left one person dead and seven injured on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, earlier this month.
An MTA bus traveling behind the Hummer involved is reported to have captured the entire incident on mounted cameras, evidence that is now in the hands of the police.
The footage, which has been reconstructed, shows the 65-year-old former Olympian smash his Cadillac Escalade into the back of both the victim’s white Lexus and the Toyota Prius involved.

Sources familiar with the video told TMZ that Jenner hits the Lexus, propelling it into a Hummer coming the other way. Jenner then continues on and hits the Prius.
If correct, the MTA video makes a more compelling case that Jenner was following too close, which opens the door to a possible vehicular manslaughter prosecution, claims TMZ.
A video showing a possible recreation of the accident has been created by Integral Media Works.
According to previous reports, the Lexus had been in Jenner's path after coming to a halt when it hit a Prius travelling ahead.

The Kardashian family patriarch, who escaped the crash unscathed, took a roadside sobriety test in front of officers in the wake of the collision, which he passed.
This latest evidence suggests that rather than the chain reaction being caused by the victim's Lexus hitting the Prius in front of her, Jenner may have hit both cars, claims TMZ.
Law enforcement sources told the celebrity news site that one operating theory is that the Prius had been stopped behind cars and, as a traffic light turned green, vehicles began moving.
It was at this point, sources say, that Jenner rear-ended the Lexus and when the Lexus cleared his lane, his car kept moving and crashed into the Prius.
TMZ reported that police say when Jenner hit the Lexus, it veered left while his Escalade moved to the right.
Detectives in Malibu have opened a vehicular homicide investigation. If any of the drivers in the crash are found criminally negligent, felony charges could be filed - which carry a sentence of up to six years in prison.
This is a terrible reporting of the incident. Too many cherry picked facts. Need the entire fact filled report to be presented.Have the reporters following him been interviewed?

It is now claimed that was rubbish. The police checked the cameras.
But why was the Prius stopped in the middle of the road hundreds of feet before the traffic light? That would still make it the prius' fault, especially if that driver was trying to do an illegal u-turn.

The Prius has nothing to do with Bruce running into the Lexus and pushing it into incoming traffic. Yeah, it was stopped but that's why other drivers pay attention to the road. Bruce was already on the Lexus' ass, going too fast and not paying attention - causing that driver's death. Not the Prius, which the Lexus noticed was stopping early or whatever and appropriately slowed down/stopped to avoid any wreckage.

Uhh yes it does... If you watch that reenactment video, the Lexus stops in the middle of the highway because of the Prius, leaving him little to no time to make a complete stop.

Did you watch it?
If it is an exact reenactment, both cars were already fully stopped while Bruce zooms right on in. I'm sure if it were 100% the case that the Prius stopped too soon then it would've been reported. Otherwise the video shows two stopped cars and Bruce having plenty of time to slow down/stop.

doesn't matter. If you're driving and the car in front stops suddenly and you run into the back of them YOURE at fault (my moms an insurance agent) there are people who do that stuff on purpose to get money. If you're driving the way you're taught then there's enough room between you and the car ahead of you where if they stop suddenly then you have enough time to react and hit your brakes.
