Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed that the impact caused her to lose control, veer right, and plunge down a 350-foot ravine. She was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
'It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car,' Saucedo stated. 'She tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda.' Police confirmed Hutchins was not following the vehicle intentionally.
Aerial footage from the crash site showed the blue ATV resting atop an overturned car that had previously crashed in the same location, further highlighting the road's danger.
Jenner and Hutchins were introduced in 2015 by a mutual hairstylist and grew close soon after. Hutchins later became Jenner's manager and publicly supported her during key moments in her life.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident. Jenner has not commented further but was seen visibly sombre in Malibu shortly after the news broke.

Smokey Robinson under criminal investigation over sexual assault allegations in Los Angeles
Motown legend Smokey Robinson is currently under criminal investigation in Los Angeles following sexual assault allegations made by four anonymous housekeepers. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed the probe is in its early stages. The allegations, detailed in a lawsuit filed on May 6, accuse the 85-year-old singer-songwriter of sexual battery, false imprisonment, negligence, and gender violence. The women, who remain unnamed in court documents as Jane Doe 1 through 4, claim incidents dating back to 2006 and allege that Robinson pressured them into sexual acts. All four plaintiffs are of Hispanic descent and stated they delayed coming forward due to fear of job loss, family repercussions, embarrassment, and concerns about their immigration status. They are seeking at least $50 million in damages and a jury trial. Robinson has strongly denied the accusations. His attorney, Christopher Frost, described the allegations as a financial ploy and 'manufactured' to damage the reputations of Robinson and his wife, who is also named in the suit and accused of fostering a hostile work environment. Frost welcomed the police investigation, stating that it would reveal the truth and that Robinson had done nothing wrong. He called the public statements from the plaintiffs' legal team a 'bizarre' attempt to create a media spectacle. Robinson is a celebrated figure in music history, known as Motown's first hitmaker and credited with writing classics such as 'My Girl' and 'Tracks of My Tears.' He is a member of both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Bureau confirmed it is actively investigating the allegations but declined further comment. Robinson's legal team plans to respond formally and seek dismissal of the case.
