It was unclear whether Jenner, 65, was injured in the crash, but pictures posted by TMZ showed Jenner standing by a damaged car talking with a firefighter.
According to TMZ, several eyewitnesses say the accident happened when Jenner, who was reportedly being chased by as many as five paparazzi, rear ended a vehicle and that car then went into oncoming traffic and was struck by a Hummer. The driver of the vehicle Jenner struck, a woman, died.
