The car accident happened in February when Jenner rear-ended her Cadillac SUV against another vehicle, which then slammed into oncoming traffic, leading to that driver's death. The driver was a 69-year-old woman. Jenner explained to Matt Lauer that current litigation has prevented her from talking about the accident. "I remember it happening. That's about it," she said.
