Auto accident in Malibu Bruce Jenner

After looking at many pictures of recent car accident in Malibu, I have some thoughts:

1) It's possible that Bruce Jenner wasn't paying attention while driving, did not have a chance to stop on time before hit the Lexus car. The damage to the Lexus' rear-end is considered serve. Bruce must have hit the car real hard. You can see the pictures of damaged Lexus.

2) It's hard to imagine that the lady in Lexus died from the accident. The interior area of Lexus car is almost un-touched (or not damaged). The front is heavily damaged, hit by Hummer. The rear is moderate-severe damage caused by Bruce. Maybe the Lexus' engine was moved into the interior area, killing the driver?

3) Apparently, the Lexus car is not as strong as BMW/Mercedes cars?? I think Lexus and Toyotas share the same structural design, I guess the engineers aren't too focused on structural to keep the drivers and passengers safe from impact.

4) I might be wrong, but by looking at the pictures, I don't see any curtain air bags in Lexus (usually on the each side of windows, the curtain airbags would deploy during the impact).

Your thoughts?

It's very sad but I will agree that #2 was very surprising... The lady may have been frail... the LS430 is one of the safest cars on the planet and it held up very well even against a Hummer.

I think the airbags deployed when the Lexus was rear-ended by Bruce. The Lexus then went into oncoming traffic, and had a frontal collision with the Hummer. Since the airbags had already been deployed once, there was nothing saving her at that point.

Bruce was in an Escalade, towing his buggy. He rear-ended a woman in a Lexus, which was then in turn pushed into oncoming traffic. The Hummer (coming from the other direction) hit it full-frontal. Supposedly there was a fourth car, a Prius, which had slammed on its brakes, which caused the whole thing. So really, I think the Lexus hit three cars: first rear-ending the Prius, then being rear-ended by Bruce's Escalade, and then after being pushed into oncoming traffic, hit by the Hummer.

What's crazy is the fact that it the accident was captured by paparazzi.

I heard Bruce Jenner was turning herself into a woman.


I think that is the bigger story here.

Yeah. I have seen parts of that show in passing (wife watches). The little I've seen it looks like his wife beat the balls off of him(mentally) over the years. Just saying.

I see Bruce Jenner has already gone ahead and decided to drive like a woman.

He's taking this sex change thing very seriously.

He was on the phone with his Gynecologist when this happened. Apparently they were discussing vaginal rejuvenation

That type of charge would be impossible for him to keep under wraps. Nice try though.

Someone posted that Bruce was drunk and he knows because his sister works for a DUI lawyer completely unrelated to the case. Now he hung me out to dry by deleting his shitty post.

I believe it was a spam bot. The link to some lawyer's website made it pretty obvious, so it probably got deleted by mods.
