There were eight people involved in the three-vehicle crash, the authorities in Malibu confirmed to BuzzFeed News. A representative for Jenner told BuzzFeed News that his client was uninjured.


Authorities on Sunday worked to obtain phone records of drivers in a Malibu crash involving Bruce Jenner that left one person dead.


The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is investigating if Jenner or the other two drivers were texting at the time they crashed on Pacific Coast Highway.


The Los Angeles Times reported that a photo showed Jenner holding a cell phone in the car, but it was unclear how long it was taken before the crash. TMZ published photos Sunday that showed Jenner holding a cigarette, but not a cell phone. According to TMZ, the accident may have been triggered by a vehicle in front of those involved in the crash stopping suddenly.


A representative for Jenner did not comment about what may have caused the crash.


"He is cooperating fully with the authorities and any details relating to the accident will need to come from them at this time," Alan Nierob said.


According to officials, Jenner's Cadillac Escalade rear-ended a woman in a Lexus, sending her into oncoming traffic. She died after her car was hit by a Hummer.


A suspected drunk driver several hours later plowed into the crash scene where investigators worked. Lanes of the coastal highway were closed for about nine hours.
