Chilling new details on Sophia Hutchins' fatal ATV crash as Caitlyn Jenner addresses tragic death
Heartbreaking details about Caitlyn Jenner's friend and longtime manager Sophia Hutchins' shocking death have emerged. 'It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,' Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told the Daily Mail Saturday. 'It doesn't seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car,' Saucedo continued. 'So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, 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 Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department didn't immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Hutchins died on Wednesday after suffering a fatal ATV crash while driving near Jenner's condo in Malibu, California. She was 29. The manager was operating the ATV when she reportedly hit the bumper of a moving car, a gray 2016 Mazda 6. The impact catapulted her and the ATV down a 350-foot ravine. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene. No one else was injured in the accident. Footage captured by a KCAL News chopper later that day showed a blue ATV laying on top of an upside-down vehicle that had previously crashed in the same spot. The new crash details come shortly after Jenner shared she was going through 'tough times' following her longtime friend's passing. The former athlete, 75, broke her silence on Hutchins' death when the Daily Mail spotted her on a Starbucks run Thursday. The ex-Olympian declined to speak further with the outlet. Jenner and Hutchins were introduced through their mutual hairstylist in 2015 — the same year Jenner came out as transgender. Hutchins previously claimed Jenner's coming out story inspired her to move forward with her own transition. After two years, Hutchins began living with Jenner and became her manager.

NYPD, FDNY ready to keep New Yorkers safe during July 4th fireworks show
How the FDNY and NYPD keep crowds safe during the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks How the FDNY and NYPD keep crowds safe during the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks How the FDNY and NYPD keep crowds safe during the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks The Fourth of July is one of the busiest nights of the year for emergency responders in New York City. CBS News New York's Ali Bauman got a preview of how the FDNY and NYPD are preparing to keep the massive crowds safe. Drones patrolling NYC skies for Fourth of July Before the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks light up the skyline Friday, fire and police drones will be in the sky patrolling. "This is a Herculean task, but we work together with our federal [and] state agencies because this is a huge, huge event," Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry said. Millions are expected to be out watching from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Drones will scan up and down the crowds for hours before the first firework even goes off. "And what are we looking for? The unknown," Daughtry said. "Maybe a medical emergency, maybe somebody put a device down, maybe somebody put a bag down." Protecting New Yorkers on land and the water This year, fireworks will ignite from the Brooklyn Bridge itself, as well as from barges in the East River. "We have our inspectors go up there inspect the bridge. The standpipe was tested within the last week. We'll have an engine placed on each side of the bridge, supplying the standpipe with fire trucks in standby, ready to go up," FDNY Manhattan Borough Commander Brian Gorman said. FDNY and NYPD will be keeping people safe on land and on the water, since boaters come out to watch the show and the river gets tight. "It's a big dinner cruise night, people out watching the fireworks, and invariably people get hurt," FDNY Chief of Planning Fred Villani said. NYPD scuba divers will be at the ready to check for suspicious devices under the firework barges. "Any vessels that don't belong out here will be number one. If something would happen on the barge or a boat that wasn't allowed here, they'll be there quickly to assist people," NYPD Chief of Department John Chell said.
