Sophia Hutchins’ Death: Police Reveal New Details About Fatal Crash

More has come to light in Sophia Hutchins' unexpected passing.

After Caitlyn Jenner's longtime friend and manager died in an ATV crash in Southern California on July 2, authorities shared insight into what led up to the accident.

Hutchins—who was driving a 2013 Polaris four-wheeler—rear-ended a 2016 Mazda sedan in the mountains of Malibu before falling off a 350-foot cliff, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told the Daily Mail.

"It doesn't seem like she was following them," Malibu/Lost Hills Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo—who added that there were two uninjured females in the car—told the outlet. "I think she just came up on them and then hit the car."

"So it looked like she tried to maneuver to go around it," he continued, "but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there."

The ATV still remains in the ravine below, according to Saucedo, who noted that the "tow company didn't have a line that was long enough to attach it and pull it up."

E! News has reached out to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station for comment and has not yet heard back.

Jenner shared with the outlet that she's been navigating "tough times," but declined to reflect further on the incident.

The Olympian's deep bond with the 29-year-old blossomed a decade ago when they were introduced by a makeup artist.

"Having a similar sense of humor, we spent the entire time laughing and ended up meeting for brunch," Hutchins told The New York Times in 2019. "We've been great friends ever since."

When Jenner, 75, had a vacancy in her professional team, her pal stepped in as her manager.

"I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage," she continued. "I was saying, 'Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke.'"

It was a winning match as Jenner said in a statement to the NYT at the time that Hutchins had become her "best friend, family and confidant."

"She is one of the top minds in her field," she gushed. "Her value in my life is undeniable. The sky is the limit with her entrepreneurial spirit."
