Heartbreaking details about Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and longtime manager Sophia Hutchins’ shocking death have emerged.
Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department mentioned to the Daily Mail Saturday that the incident appeared to be a result of the driver speeding and crashing into the other vehicle, which then led her to swerve to the right and ultimately drive off the cliff.
“It doesn’t seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car,” Saucedo continued.
It seemed as though she attempted to navigate around the car, but due to her excessive speed, she only managed to collide with the back of the Mazda, causing her to veer off and plummet off the cliff.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Hutchins died on Wednesday after suffering a fatal ATV crash while driving near Jenner’s condo in Malibu, Calif. She was 29.
Reports indicate that the manager was driving the ATV at the time of the accident when she collided with the rear bumper of a moving gray 2016 Mazda 6, resulting in both her and the ATV plunging down a 350-foot ravine.
Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene. No one else was injured in the accident.
Footage captured by a KCAL News chopper later that day showed a blue ATV laying on top of an upside-down vehicle that had previously crashed in the same spot.
The new crash details come shortly after Jenner shared she was going through “tough times” following her longtime friend’s passing.
The former athlete, 75, broke her silence on Hutchins’ death when the Daily Mail spotted her on a Starbucks run Thursday.
The ex-Olympian declined to speak further with the outlet.
Jenner and Hutchins were introduced through their mutual hairstylist in 2015 — the same year Jenner came out as transgender.
Hutchins previously claimed Jenner’s coming out story inspired her to move forward with her own transition.
After two years, Hutchins began living with Jenner and became her manager.
