Paparazzi Chasing Bruce Jenner Caused Fatal Accident on Pacific Coast Highway!

February 7, 2015 by tamaratattles

Bruce Jenner Accident

UPDATED: NBC is reporting the accident this way, “

Jenner was driving an SUV carrying a dune buggy on the northbound side of PCH that rear-ended a Lexus sedan, Brooks said, noting that traffic was not moving very quickly. One of the drivers may have stopped short.

“It appears one vehicle stopped in traffic, we’re not sure why. The second vehicle, a Lexus, hit that car, and a third vehicle carrying a trailer, Mr. Jenner, struck the Lexus. The Lexus, after the collision,” Brooks said. (Brooks is an officer on the scene)

The Lexus was sandwiched between Jenner’s SUV and a Toyota Prius, Brooks said.

The Lexus then spun or veered into the quickly moving southbound lane of PCH, where it was hit head-on by a Hummer, he said. The driver of the Lexus died.

TMZ has photos AS THE CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT OCCURRED which they purchased from SPLASH NEWS so it appears the paparazzi got their shot and it is selling like hotcakes.  Shame on anyone for buying those pictures. 

Also, Bruce passed a field sobriety test and agreed to have a blood test and was taken to the station.  Officers say Bruce was NOT speeding at the time.

As many as five paparazzi  were chasing Bruce Jenner down the PCH today when they caused a fatal accident involving as many as seven cars.  It seems that Bruce reared  ended the white car. The driver of the white car is dead. The cops gave Bruce a sobriety test at the scene which he passed. Bruce is shaken up but did not suffer serious injuries as he is seen standing by the road talking to police.  When the white car was rear ended it veered into oncoming traffic and was hit again head on by the black Hummer.

Bruce was driving a Utility Terrain Vehicle, which is apparently kind of like a cross between a truck and an ATV. It’s kind of a miracle he was not more seriously injured.  You can see the four-wheeler thing to the left and behind the white car.

Bruce jenner accident 2

Something really needs to be done about the Paparazzi in California. Didn’t they just pass a law there about this? I know they just passed a couple of laws about photographing children and using drones, but I think the paparazzi should be charged in that poor woman’s death. I have a feeling they didn’t stick around to get the pictures.

    For the love of God — one woman dead because the paps wanted a picture of Bruce to reveal something he’s not ready to share publicly.
    Sickening.
    I’m not familiar with CA laws re: paparazzi, but I hope they can be charged with the woman’s death — but either way, I’m sure it’s going to be Bruce living with the guilty conscious.

      I would say what does it take a death to stop these paparazzi? But, we know that there have already been deaths, and these stalkers are never held responsible. Disgusting. Got no job? Stalk a “celebrity” and sell the pictures. Easy money.

    What the fuck is wrong with people?? This is heartbreaking… that poor woman, driving down the highway, going about her daily life & now she’s dead because someone wants to see how much of a woman Bruce Jenner is dressed like today. It’s so fucked up. And if I can get on my soapbox for a second (and I’m guilty of this too) but every single person who buys one of those magazines with the paparazzi photographs in it is partially to blame. The more insatiable we are for pictures of celebrities, the larger a commodity they become. I know I’m not the first person to make this point… but I think it can’t be made often enough. And you’re right TT, every single photographer and/or driver that was following Bruce should be charged with vehicular homicide!!!

        Maybe we should just blame the specific paps involved rather then make blanket statements. This family wants paparazzi, attention, and to sell magazines, including Bruce. What no one wants is to be placed in a dangerous situation.

      Look, if you are going to complain about the consumption of tabloids, it’s only fair to acknowledge the reciprocal role the Jenners and kardashians have with the media. All members except for Robert are filming their show. Are they culpable too?

        If you want to speak about culpability, I think it makes more sense to discuss the relationship certain celebrities have with the magazines and websites that purchase paparazzi photos and videos. Some share stories, sell weddings photos etc. all the time.

      • PlusOneForLuck says

        February 7, 2015 at 8:01 pm

        There is a distinct difference between taking photographs of celebrities at events or filming with a crew & being hunted down and chased down the highway. Please don’t confuse the two.

          ​How many selfies of Bruce do you see? How many Instagram accounts does he have? How about Twitter? Facebook? I’ll wait.

          Most of the pictures of Bruce have him flipping off the paparazzi. Why you people think Bruce is required to stop and pose all day for paparazzi? Ya’ll seem to think all of these stupid ass pictures everyone posts of every fart they have means some idiots can hunt you down everytime you leave the house and sell your image to tabloids.

          The whole fucking world has gone insane.

        There is a limit though. Yes, I like seeing photos of stars at events and they get all dressed up to be seen. However, just because they are celebrities does not mean that they should be followed 24/7 in cars down a highway and telephoto lenses when the are lounging in their backyards.

    I agree that the paparazzi are a huge problem, particularly in LA, but I also think Bruce is partially to blame. Bruce is not new to this situation of being hunted. He knows he is the #1 target of the Paparazzi and that they are reckless. He should have been using a professional driver or just laying low and letting an assistant transport the UTV. I hope they find the paparazzi and bring charges. Innocent people are now getting killed so paparazzi can get a shot of what? Someone driving down the road? Prayers for the family of the woman.

    • tamaratattles says

      February 7, 2015 at 6:33 pm

      Bruce should be able to drive down the highway just like anyone else. He lives off that highway.

      • RealChicagoHousewife says

        February 7, 2015 at 7:02 pm

        But, he’s not like anyone else. He is a celebrity who has traded money for anonymity. He’s old enough and experienced enough to know what the paparazzi are like. Bruce has got to be aware that the choices he has made are affecting public reaction and interest in his transition which in turn drives the paparazzi. He’s the one who is most likely going to be held liable for killing this woman. He took a risk he shouldn’t have taken. It’s too bad because I think he’s a fundamentally decent person but he made a mistake and it caused someone to lose their life.

        Side note- I feel badly for referring to him as a him if it offends anyone but I feel like until he personally says something it isn’t right to switch pronouns.

      • Micheal says

        February 7, 2015 at 7:07 pm

        You are right about the pronoun issue. He remains a ‘he’ and ‘Bruce’ until he makes it clear otherwise. At least that is how I see it.

      • Urethra Franklin says

        February 7, 2015 at 7:32 pm

        Micheal a small part of me is still in denial that he is transitioning until I hear him say so himself.

      I overall agree, I still think following famous people closely while driving is crossing the line, but this whole “leave Bruce alone” movement is a little much. He doesn’t appear to want to be left alone. He may not be speaking (but I suspect that is a pr move more then anything else so he can build momentum for his big announcement) but he is constantly going to public places and filming two shows Rob doesn’t want to be in the public and he has done a good job of removing himself, proving it is not impossible to be left alone. Is Bruce responsible for being recklessly followed? No. But he is partially responsible for the media frenzy surrounding him.

        Let’s just blame the victim. It’s the Lexus driver’s fault for bring on the road while the paparazzi were chasing Bruce. Judas Priest, there has to be a line drawn, and chasing a person in traffic for a damn picture should be illegal.

    About 3 miles down the road from my daughter’s home. They’re all OK, but travel that road daily. I hate it, it always feels like an accident ready to happen. I saw it someplace else before here, made me ill ’til I knew they were all right. Prayers to the injured and families of the deceased.

  7. Pat says

    February 7, 2015 at 6:15 pm

    Ultimately this accident is Bruce’s fault. He was driving the automobile that hit the white car. In CA, as in every other state, the DRIVER is responsible for what his auto does when at the wheel. Bruce could have pulled over and called the cops, he could have slowed down and let the paps take his picture, but no, he chose to drive in such s reckless manner that a young woman is now dead. That is on him. He has lived in the spotlight long enough and is old enough to know better than to let the paps get to him this way. I am a big fan of Bruce, but this is on him.

      • Dracla Dunning says

        February 7, 2015 at 9:41 pm

        Micheal, if for some irrational, bizarre reason a court found Bruce guilty of manslaughter, Bruce would not go to a female prison. He is not transgender. He would most likely be placed in a male prison that has accommodations to house pre-transgender and transgender prisoners and his needs to maintain the process would be met.

        I’m a little confused about the NBC report to linked to above. It says the Lexus was “sandwiched” between the car in front of it and Bruce’s vehicle. It THEN spun into oncoming traffic? How can you be sandwiched and then spin out from in between two cars?

        • tamaratattles says

          February 7, 2015 at 8:34 pm

          ​I was wondering the same thing. I’ve read several reports and that part is described differently in many versions. somehow the middle car ended up pulling into oncoming traffic is the best I can figure. Or maybe the prius pulled up and off the road and when the white car tried to go it veering into the other lane?

        What am I not understanding? If Bruce was not speeding, not impaired and rear ended another car in a chain reaction accident (needing more room to stop due to pulling a loaded trailer), how is the death of the Lexus driver his fault or the fault of the paparazzi especially if the driver made some sort of decision to enter the oncoming lane of a very dangerous highway? The great majority of PCH is two lane, narrow, winding with reduced speed.
        The paparazzi were able to safely stop, avoiding the accident. To me it sounds like the death of the Lexus driver was an unfortunate miscalculation of speed and distance not because of photographers.
        Unless I have missed information I am seeing a lot of misplaced blame.

      Michael- If a transgender person is convicted of a crime in one State they may go to a male prison, in another State a female prison. Some States take into account if the person has had reassignment surgery. Others do not. Some pay for hormone maintenance, others do not.

        February 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm

        This was covered on an episode of Orange in the New Black. Sophia, who is transgender, and had reassignment surgery prior to her arrest, was assigned to a women’s prison. However, she was also in danger of losing her hormone treatment because the government did not want to pay for it. I forgot how it was resolved but I do believe that this a legitimate concern for transgender prisoners.

        The Lexus then spun or veered into the quickly moving southbound lane of PCH, where it was hit head-on by a Hummer, he said. The driver of the Lexus died.”
        The article above clearly states that the driver of the Lexus hit the vehicle that had stopped in the middle of traffic, causing a chain reaction. Then, Bruce hit the Lexus – the police officer also states that Bruce was NOT speeding, passed his field sobriety test and stayed to speak to the accident investigators. It appears that the only reason this accident is news-worthy is because Bruce Jenner was driving down PCH, minding his own business after a charity event. This very well could have been you driving your own car. Think about it, how many times have you been toodling along and had to suddenly stop because someone in front of you stopped short. Reflexes come into play and you hope to goodness you can stop before it’s too late. I’m not quite certain that I understand the vitriol that tries and convicts anyone that Tamara writes about…Kim, Kroy, Bruce, Bobby…even the children get bashed.

    • Swizzle says

      February 7, 2015 at 7:52 pm

      You’re probably right that legally it will be his fault, but reports say the first car (the Prius) stopped unexpectedly. That’s not Bruce driving recklessly, that’s an accident.

    The paparazzi will do anything for a buck, and there has not been enough legislation to make them criminally responsible for the deaths they are responsible for. The PCH is dangerous enough as it is without nutters chasing cars they think might have a celebrity. Stop buying the crap magazines, all of you. You feed the monsters.

    This is so horrible! First I had heard, guess I missed the news. One senseless death too many. I hope they can somehow find the paparazzi that were involved. Mixed feelings, I mostly blame the paparazzi, but then like someone said, Bruce could have handled it better maybe, but in the heat of the moment who really thinks of all the possible outcomes.

  11. belladonna says

    February 7, 2015 at 6:33 pm

    It looks like Bruce was responsible for hitting the car and pushing it into the other lane. I blame Bruce for speeding to get away from the paparazzi, and the paparazzi for chasing him. As usual, an innocent woman was killed because of the idiots on the road.

    I’ve driven on PCH and seen the paparazzi chasing celebrities. It’s seriously scary how they swarm to the cars running after a famous person. I don’t think anyone can get used to having people chase them with that intensity. Bruce’s transition is the top story right now but should Bruce have to move to Iowa because of the spotlight on him? I don’t think that’s reasonable and until more details are revealed, I’m not willing to place blame on anyone yet.

    • Micheal says

      February 7, 2015 at 6:58 pm

      He should be able to drive free of harassment. Sadly the woman who was rear ended should have been able to drive without a frantic celebrity hitting her. At the very least this is a contributory negligence civil case.

        The only person who survived Diana’s crash was the one person wearing a seat belt. She might have survived if she had been wearing her seat belt.

    Bruce will not be charged. Of course not. You can text, eat, put on make-up, rear-end someone and cause a death, but you’ll walk away, staring at your phone the whole time.

      From the “moment of impact” photos on TMZ, it does look like he was texting.

        Only after the impact. Most people contact someone when they have just been in an accident. Police, mommy, wife, insurance agent…​

        But those photos seem to capture the white car in various stages of being bashed in, which leads me to think they truly are moment of impact photos, rather than after the impact photos.

    Maybe I’m especially disagreeable today but I’m appalled by the reactions here. Bruce should just let him take his picture? It’s somehow his fault?? Obviously none of you have seen the documentaries about how the paparazzi stalk and recklessly follow celebrities. I don’t care who you are… Having as many as 5 vehicles chase you down the highway is fucking scary. Being a celebrity doesn’t mean you give up your rights as a human being. Even if you’re fame whores like the Kardiashians…. They’re people for Christ’s sake. That man should be able to drive down the highway safely… He didn’t take the reckless action – the paparazzi did.

      Escaping paparazzi is not an adequate excuse to speed. Or drive recklessly. It appears he wasnt though, which from a legal perspective is great for him.

    • TheGloryofOldIU says

      February 7, 2015 at 7:53 pm

      Just my opinion — if you choose a life in the limelight for whatever reason, then pose for the paps and they’ll leave you alone. There are plenty of restaurants, Starbucks, etc. in LA in that are well-known pap hangouts. Until it’s illegal for them to chase you, do the general public a huge favor and don’t give them a reason to chase you.

      @PlusOneForLuck,
      You are not being disagreeable, you are the only reasonable comment I have read so far.
      As per the people who consume the photos shot by the Paparazzi who chase the people who are guilty for being famous. If Bruce was under the influence of drugs or other substance, the accident would be his fault. Being chased by the Paparazzi is also his fault for being “famous”. With that logic, its safe to say, we live in a fuck up world.

      The pictures I posted were tweets from people stuck in traffic after the accident. The pictures TMZ posted are pictures of *the accident happening* taken by the paparazzi who were persuing Bruce down the highway. ​

      It was never his fault in the first place. I wonder how you’d like or how would you fair if random people follow your every move and spread salacious stories about you. How would you fair in traffic if a band of these marauding vultures were to accost you in traffic. Yep, think about that.

      It’s not the paparazzi’s fault, they feed the needs of truly sad people with photos and stories of others, it’s not their fault, it’s the fault of the victims.

    It was said by police that he was not speeding not on any drugs or alcohol. So one can only imagine how distracting it must be to try to drive down the highway while several cars are trying to photograph and chase you. That would be considered a road hazard for anyone to drive in famous or not you should be able to drive to a destination without being harassed. Now he will live with the pain of this for the rest of his life. I’m sure he feels incredibly guilty as he usually acts the most sane of the whole group. I pray for the lady who died as well. It’s tragic.

    The guy was driving in the middle of a highway. Where was he supposed to stop in the middle of a highway to let paps take his pics?? Is that even legal?

    I have heard instances of paps getting in front of the car and stopping short so another car behing the subject can get pics. I hope that is not what happened in this case. The car in front of the white car could have been paps.

    I asked my cop husband about rear end car accidents and this is what he told me. When there is a rear end collision, the driver that rear ends a vehicle can be charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision even if he was not speeding. The driver that is hit is usually not charged because they may have had to slow down or stop for many legitimate reasons such as debris in roadway, pedestrians crossing lane, mechanical failure, etc. The driver of the “following” vehicle should remain a safe distance behind the vehicle to be able to safely stop without causing an accident. So technically Bruce can be at fault and charged for the accident. If he caused the car to veer into the lane of oncoming traffic which resulted in the death of the driver, he can also be charged with vehicular manslaughter. It remains to be proved whether Bruce rear ending the car was the reason the car went into oncoming traffic. I did check California traffic laws and found that almost always the driver who rear ends a car is at fault and charged for the accident the same as in North Carolina. I’m in no way saying that the paps were not a contributing factor or the main factor in Bruce being distracted. In fact, I’m fairly certain that is the case. Either way it is very sad that someone lost their life and Bruce has to live with that.

    • hannahkingrose says

      February 7, 2015 at 10:35 pm

      Now if by some chance the car behind Bruce pushed his car into the white car he definitely could not be charged with rear ending. He did not deserve to be hounded imo by the paps.

  31. jellybelly says

    February 7, 2015 at 10:18 pm

    How sad, I hope they got the right picture of Bruce doing nothing but minding his own business, and are held accountable for any part in this death.

  32. sarcasatire says

    February 7, 2015 at 10:28 pm

    How can you outrun paparazzi on a highway?? Bruce was reckless and it was his car the hit the woman, leading to her demise. I get that the paparazzi are an annoyance, but Bruce wasn’t in danger. He wasn’t fleeing for his life. There was no reason for him to be speeding like that on the PCH, putting other drivers at risk.

        • tamaratattles says

          February 7, 2015 at 10:55 pm

          ​Because the paps operate in groups. Someone will get in front and slow the celeb down the rest will be behind and pass and take the pictures with the Celeb trapped and surrounded. It seems likely in this case that the front car stopped “for some unknown reason” according to the cops.

          I’m starting to think there is no point in explaining this any further this thread has devolved into traffic law school 101 and confused people babbling on about celebrities not going out in public.

        Perhaps most of us don’t know the M.O. of the paparazzi so these things aren’t immediately apparent. So please forgive the questions.

        So if the car that stopped unexpectedly was paparazzi, then one of them was involved in the accident, am I right? Wasn’t that the car the woman crashed into? I’m asking because I thought none of the paparazzi were involved in the crash?

    It sounds as if the victim pulled out in front of the Hummer after the crash which was more of a stop light rear ender at low speed, rather than Bruce’s car pushing her into its path. I’m wondering if the presence of paparazzi is simply a coincidence in this situation.

    • tamaratattles says

        Wow really? Maybe taking all the details into account and coming to another conclusion instead of just jumping on the bandwagon did involve some thinking on my part? The fact that there were paparazzi on scene is no proof that they were involved or to blame (I’m not saying they weren’t, only wondering if it’s a possibility). If they were behind him and also stopping at the same red light they’re not going to just sit nicely in their cars. I do however think it’s despicable that they were stood taking photos while other passers by were trying to help the victim, that’s never excusable and they shouldn’t have sold the photos either. Their behavior is clearly getting completely out of hand, but it doesn’t mean they were definitely to blame here.

    I’m within about a five minute’s drive to the PCH and I don’t need someone in GA to tell me how crazy traffic is in SoCal. There is a lot of stop and go traffic, and by stop and go, I mean 80 mph to stop. So lots of sudden stops. People who aren’t paying attention hit those in front of them, and they will give you all kinds of excuses as to why they hit someone. You’re driving with your head up your ass like all the other drivers, that’s why you hit the car in front of you.

    In Tennessee you are suppose to be 50ft, or 3 car lengths between each car. Its to avoid such accidents. You get a citation for following too close and therefore your at fault if you rear end someone. Cause people has to sometimes brake quickly. Bruce could be charged with manslaughter.

      What sarcasatire said, you couldn’t drive anywhere with 50 ft between cars. If you try it, someone will pull in front of you and you’re back to 10 feet at best. And you’re driving at 80 mph bumper to bumper. Isn’t it lovely.
