Bruce Jenner

Jenner blames the paparazzi.


Jenner family sources tell TMZ Bruce was being chased by as many as 5 paparazzi at the time of the crash. Bruce told cops he wasn't drinking and passed a field sobriety test.

TMZ has photos of the actual collision. Clearly showing the paparazzi were there. If they are proven responsible, something's going to hit the fan in Hollywood.

Good observation, broadway guy.

Quick, let's all sign a pledge never to read/access or cite TMZ or any similar venue on this board or any other, ever again, to show solidarity with paparazzi-stalked celebrities in a post-Diana world.

Crickets.

It's a weird world we live in when someone dies, the person who caused the accident blames photographers and the photographers still post photos of the accident as it happened all over the net. "The accident happened because he was being chased by those bastards from TMZ, TMZ reports."

This is the first think that popped up on Google. This is NOT hotlinked to the site:


It does look like he is texting.

That's what I read. Bruce hit white car. White car hit Prius and ricocheted off into oncoming traffic where it was struck by the Hummer.

---

That's not the way the article I read put it. They said Bruce hit the Lexus causing it to hit the Prius, which would make more sense than two rear-ends at the same light.

---

Jenner wasn't trying to "reckessly outrace his pursuers." The traffic was at a dead crawl.

They'll be examining his phone to find out.

Very sad situation for all especially the deceased's family!

"I'm not sure why this some folks in this thread are making Bruce the only focus of wrong doing."

Because all we know is what the news is reporting and they aren't giving us all the information that you have about this accident.

"Every report I've read has him as the third car in a multi-car pileup. Prius stopped short, Lexus rear-ended Prius, Escalade (Bruce ) rear-ended Lexus, Lexus spun into next lane and was hit by Hummer. Lexus driver killed."

That's not the account I read and regardless, this interpretation would defy the laws of physics. Assuming all cars are in the same lane heading straight ahead, if you hit the car in front of you and then the car behind you comes up and hits you, as the middle car, you are almost locked in between the other two cars. It would be almost impossible for that chain of events to send you as the middle car careening laterally or even diagonally into oncoming traffic. The fact that you are basically pressed between the car in front and the car in back would make that virtually impossible. If anything, the car in front, the Prius, a much lighter car might careen after the second impact from Bruce's car if it was struck hard enough and had its wheels turned, but not the middle car. The only interpretation that makes sense is that the middle car was hit forcefully by Bruce's truck and then hit the Prius as it was careening.

Never underestimate the powerful ability of the Kardashian/Jenner publicity machine to color and spin the account you are reading which likely was gathered from a "source close to the investigation".

EDIT: Just revisiting the pictures at the top, that looks like exactly what happened. There does not appear to be any damage to the front of the white car at the time it is impacted by Bruce which would throw doubt on it already having hit the Prius and Bruce's wheels are turning and he hits the white car at an angle on its right side making it appear he was trying to change lanes at the time and causing the car to careen off to the left. Even the account by the Sheriff's deputy makes no sense. He admits the white car was sandwiched between the two after Bruce hit it. When you are sandwiched between two cars, all 3 cars come to a rest and you are stuck there. You don't then all of a sudden careen into on coming traffic.
