Devastating footage shows the scene where Caitlyn Jenner’s manager and longtime friend died in a fatal vehicle crash . Sophia Hutchins died aged 29 after an ATV accident. Her vehicle plunged down a cliff in Malibu. It’s believed her ATV struck the bumper of another moving car which then caused her to fall down a ravine. Footage from the scene showed the vehicle overturning in the brush. The clip captured by KCAL seems to show the ATV having came to a stop on top of another vehicle. In the footage, the blue Polaris ATV is seen lying on the top of another vehicle which appears to have previously gone over the cliff too. According to sources, the impact of striking another car’s vehicle sent Hutchins’ vehicle “‘plummeting 350ft down into a ravine”. Officials confirmed the fatal incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday, July 2. Hutchins had been travelling in the all-terrain vehicle when it struck a moving vehicle on a twisting section of road overlooking the Pacific Coast. Emergency responders reached the scene swiftly following the incident. Sadly, however, Hutchins was declared deceased upon arrival. Authorities confirmed the pair of occupants within the other car escaped injury. It remains uncertain whether Jenner, 75, was present at her home nearby or observed the tragedy unfold. Hutchins, also a transgender woman, initially established a connection with Jenner soon after the Olympic legend publicly revealed her identity in 2015. She had regularly labelled Jenner a beacon of hope as she continued throughout her own gender transition whilst studying at Pepperdine University. It’s said the pair’s connection deepened over the years and soon became both a personal and working partnership. Hutchins relocated to Jenner’s £2.8 million Malibu residence in 2017. Then, she subsequently assumed control of Jenner’s professional affairs. This move replaced Jenner’s former spouse Kris Jenner in that capacity. Hutchins had previously been open about her transgender journey, and after her transition. She had said: “I truly feel my spirit, my soul, my mind is exactly the same, I am just so much more comfortable physically. Before I transitioned I felt like, ‘Yeah, I’m definitely just a girl, but I’m in the wrong body.’ And I felt trapped in that body. “And I needed to have the hormones to change the body, for me, the surgeries to change the body. But for me, that’s what I wanted to do, and that’s what made me ultimately so at peace.” Hutchins had frequently featured on Jenner’s E! reality series titled I Am Cait. The show was a spin-off from Keeping Up With the Kardashians that documented Jenner’s gender transition journey. Although the programme ran for just two seasons, it shared an insight to audiences of their everyday experiences together. In a heartbreaking last post , Hutchins spoke about healing. In the upload, she shared a snap of an ornament she had fixed. Captioning the post, she wrote: “From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm, and foot, to a healing cherub. You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins…” Like this story?
