Caitlyn Jenner could apparently face a manslaughter charge for her involvement in a fatal car crash in February.
L.A. Times say that detectives will present evidence to prosecutors next week that could lead to a misdemeanour manslaughter charge. Prosecutors will then decide whether to formally charge her.
She could face up to a year in prison if convicted.
Detective Richard Curry of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said that Jenner was driving at ‘an unsafe speed for the road conditions’ on the day of the incident. Her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, shunting it into oncoming traffic.
69-year-old Kim Howe, the driver of the Lexus, was killed when she was hit by another vehicle head-on.
Jenner passed a sobriety test at the time of the accident and Curry added that phone records show no one was using a mobile phone when it happened.

In February the reality TV star, then publicly known as Bruce, released a statement expressing her ‘heartfelt and deepest sympathies’.
‘It is a devastating tragedy I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will cooperate in any way possible’ she said.
It was considered that the crash occurred because Jenner was being chased by paparazzi, however authorities later denied this to Mail Online.
A rep for Jenner declined to comment when contacted by Metro.co.uk.
