Investigating police said speed may have been a factor in the crash that killed Caitlyn Jenner’s manager and friend, Sophia Hutchins, 29. When asked about Hutchin’s death during a coffee run in Malibu, Jenner, 75, said she was having “tough times” and didn’t “want to talk,” the Daily Mailreported. Hutchins was driving near Jenner’s home in Los Angeles when she rear-ended a Mazda and was sent plunging 350 feet into a ravine. She was pronounced dead on the scene. “It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car,” said Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, The Express Tribunereported. “She tried to maneuver to go around it, but she was going too fast and ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda.” According to police, Hutchins didn’t appear to be following the vehicle but instead might have attempted to pass it.
