Heartbreaking details about Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and longtime manager Sophia Hutchins’ shocking death have emerged.
“It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,” Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the Daily Mail Saturday.
“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.
“So it looked like she tried to maneuver to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there.”
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.
The manager was operating the ATV when she reportedly hit the bumper of a moving car, a gray 2016 Mazda 6. The impact catapulted her and the ATV 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.
