  • Story Text: Former Olympic champion and reality television star Caitlyn Jenner, who came out as transgender in April, is facing a second lawsuit in connection with a fatal car crash on a Southern California highway in February.
    Jessica Marie Steindorff filed the personal injury suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday (June 08) accusing Jenner of driving "negligently, carelessly, recklessly and wantonly" and causing the crash, which injured Steindorff in her vehicle, according to court papers.
    Steindorff works as a Hollywood talent manager, according to CNN.
    Relatives of Kimberly Howe, who was killed in the February 7 collision on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, have filed a lawsuit against Jenner for negligence and wrongful death. Several others were injured in the crash, authorities said.
    Howe's lawsuit came after Jenner declared in a nationally televised interview that she identifies as a woman, becoming the most high-profile American to come out as transgender.
    Jenner rose to fame with a record-breaking Olympic gold medal victory in the decathlon in the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. Known to younger generations as the patriarch of reality TV's Kardashian clan.
    Jenner escaped serious injury in the crash, having declined medical treatment at the scene, authorities said.
