Back in February, Caitlyn Jenner was involved in a car accident that left seven injured and claimed the life of a 69-year-old woman named Kim Howe.
After a lengthy investigation, it was determined that Jenner would not face charges for the accident, even though footage from the accident reveals that he was at least partially to blame for multi-car pile-up, and may have been driving negligently.
Of course, just because Caitlyn was cleared of criminal charges, that doesn’t mean she won’t wind up in court.
Howe’s family plans to sue Jenner for wrongful death, and they’re leveling some serious accusations at the 65-year-old reality star.
According to TMZ, Howe’s stepchildren are now claiming that Caitlyn was on drugs at the time of the accident.
Police tested Jenner after the crash and determined that she was not impaired.
However, Howe’s family claims that new information has come to light, and they now have reason to believe that Jenner was under the influence of prescription drugs that impaired his ability to drive.
Jenner has repeatedly refused to discuss the matter publicly, but he has stated in the past that he doesn’t use recreational drugs of any kind.
There’s no word yet on whether the Howe’s suit against Jenner will end up in court, or if the former Olympian will simply choose to settle.
