The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has completed its investigation into the
car crash Caitlyn Jenner was involved in this past February that left one woman dead.
According to ABC7, detectives are
recommending that the district attorney charge Jenner with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. According to the report, Jenner was not speeding, but she was still traveling at an unsafe speed for road conditions when her
Escalade rear-ended two cars, pushing Kim Howe’s car into oncoming traffic, causing the fatal crash.
TMZ had
previously reported that Jenner was unlikely to face felony charges, however, if convicted on the misdemeanor charge, she faces up to a year in county jail.
According to the Los Angeles Times,
detectives will also present evidence against Jessica Steindorff, the driver of the Toyota Prius involved in the crash who has filed a lawsuit against Jenner. Detective Richard Curry told the paper Steindorff was driving on a suspended license and could be charged with a crime.
Meanwhile, Jenner is also being sued by Howe's stepchildren, William Howe and Dana Redmond, who filed a
wrongful death lawsuit claiming the former Olympian was driving at unsafe speeds. They also alleged she was negligent when she rear-ended the car, causing their mother's death.
