Sheriff’s investigators plan to recommend prosecutors file a vehicular manslaughter charge against Jenner for her role in a fatal car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu last February. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida says investigators found that Jenner was driving “unsafe for the prevailing road conditions” because her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic.

Caitlyn Jenner keeps the 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medal in a the bottom of four drawers at a makeup table.

Jenner showed off the medal in a video on CaitlynJenner.com.

“My gold medal is my most-prized possession – I’m so proud of it,” Jenner said in a response to a question on the website. “However, I never wanted my kids to feel like they had to have a gold medal in order to be considered a success. I didn’t want them to constantly compare their own achievements to my time in the Olympics, so I haven’t displayed my medal.”
