The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed new paperwork on Wednesday officially declining to charge Jenner in the accident that left 69-year-old Kimberly Howe dead and seven others injured.

Ms Howe, 69, was killed when Jenner’s sport utility vehicle collided with her auto, pushing it into oncoming traffic along Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway.
In surveillance footage obtained by ET, Jenner’s Cadillac Escalade can be seen hitting Howe’s white Lexus, and a black Prius.
Jenner’s attorney Blair Berk said from the start, she believed a thorough and objective investigation would clear her client from any criminal wrongdoing.
Good news for Caitlyn Jenner – the 65-year-old will NOT be charged with vehicular manslaughter according to authorities.
Does it make sense given the secret that Caitlyn Jenner was hiding from her for all those years?
After the accident, Jenner released a statement expressing sympathy to those involved in the accident.
Jenner has called the crash a “devastating tragedy”, saying, “I can not pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible”.
Ms Howe’s stepchildren have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jenner.
The crash has shadowed her much-lauded transgender transition that was announced in a two-hour television special with Diane Sawyer. According to the latest gossip news updates, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians momager sees Cait as a real threat to her relationship to Gamble, but Jenner really just wants to be Corey’s friend so he can find out what the family is up to now that she is not around.

A Los Angeles judge approved her petition to formally change her name and gender on September 25. Jenner was born Bruce Jenner and won an Olympic gold medal for the decathlon in 1976.
