Jenner’s truck hit a Lexus sedan driving in front of him. Before Jenner’s hit the Lexus, the Lexus had hit a Prius, which had slowed or stopped ahead of the Lexus. After Jenner hit the Lexus, it then spun or veered into opposing fast-moving traffic on the Southbound side of the PCH and was involved in a head-on collision with a Hummer, Sgt. Brooks explained to Access.

The driver of the Lexus was killed as a result of the accident, according to Sgt. Brooks.

Paparazzi photos snapped at the moment of the accident, show what appear to be a cigarette in Jenner’s left hand, which he is dangling out of the driver’s side window.
