Jenner was uninjured in the crash on Saturday afternoon, his rep told ABC News.
According to authorities, Jenner told police that paparazzi were following him right before the crash.
A woman driving a Lexus rear-ended another car, police said. Jenner’s SUV then hit the Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic, where it hit a Humvee.
The driver of the Lexus was killed, while five people inside the Humvee suffered non-life threatening injuries, police said.
Jenner cooperated with investigators, police said. He passed a field sobriety test and then voluntarily submitted a blood sample to determine whether he was intoxicated.
“He did not appear intoxicated or under the influence of anything at the time,” said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Philip Brooks.
Jenner – a 1976 Olympic gold medalist – is one of the stars of the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which for the past eight years has documented Jenner raising daughters Kendall and Kylie with now ex-wife Kris Jenner.
Jenner is also father to four other children — Brody, Burt, Brandon and Casey — and step-father to Kris Jenner’s children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian.
