Chilling new details on Sophia Hutchins' fatal ATV crash as Caitlyn Jenner addresses tragic death
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. 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. Police have released more details about the death of Sophia Hutchins. 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. Hutchins (pictured left) was a close friend of Caitlyn Jenner, who was previously married to Kardashian family mumager Kris Jenner. 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. Hutchins was just 29. 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.

McGill, 31, of East Kilbride, changed tack to get involved in drugs deals and mayhem more than a decade after he ran for Renfrewshire athletics club Kilbarchan. He set a highly impressive personal best time for 100m of just over 11 seconds while being trained by the former Team GB ace Mr Whittle. The MSP for South Scotland since 2016 said of McGill: 'I remember him as a decent athlete in his mid-teens with potential. 'But he did not stay in the training group for long.' We can reveal an image of a fresh-faced McGill wearing a Scotland vest at a meet in Antrim, Northern Ireland. A source said: 'He came second in the 100m at the Celtic games on August 13, 2011. 'He only represented Kilbarchan AC for one year then disappeared. It was very odd because at the time he seemed like he was going to be a really successful athlete. 'But people who knew him remember he did seem a lot more interested in Rangers than track and field.' McGill, exposed by us as the gang war Mr Big, went on to lead the Union Bears Rangers ultras and was pictured with ex-Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard. The INSIDE story of Scotland's biggest gangster - Jamie 'The Iceman' Stevenson He is said to be behind a mob called Tamo Junto who have been waging war against caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson, 38, and the notorious Daniel crime family. Insiders say dealers paid McGill in fake cash for a £500,000 cocaine deal after seeing him as 'a nobody'. Tamo Junto has claimed responsibility for firebombings and machete attacks in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Cops have made 48 arrests so far. Mr Whittle won 4x400m relay gold at two European Championships and competed at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

‘He lacks that bit of spark': Reform UK's Nigel Farage says Peter Dutton 'not a great smiler' in wake of federal election defeat.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says Peter Dutton "lacks that bit of spark" to inspire conservative-thinking voters following the former Opposition Leader's dismal federal election defeat. Mr Farage's party has seen a surge of popularity throughout Great Britain, with Reform UK having taken control of 10 local councils, won two mayoral races and added a fifth MP to parliament following council and by-elections last week. Conversely, the 2025 Australian federal election has delivered significant electoral losses in the Liberal Party's conservative wing, including Mr Dutton. Speaking to Sky News host Paul Murray on Tuesday night, Mr Farage was asked about the Liberal's election results, which he said were 'very disappointing'. 'I think Peter Dutton is a very decent bloke. But, he lacks that bit of spark. He's not a great smiler,' Mr Farage said. 'I just think that to invigorate people of a conservative mindset in the modern world, you've got to have that flash, that spark of inspiration. And I'm not saying this to do Dutton down.' The effect of United States President Donald Trump is believed by some to have played a major role in the federal election, and Mr Farage told Sky News he did not think the 'Trump thing' worked in Mr Dutton's favour. 'Putting America first has caused some issues for Australia. But I don't think it's just that. I think one can over-read the Trump effect on Australian politics,' Mr Farage said. 'I just think that the Australian small-c conservative movement just needs to find something a bit more inspiring. And as I say, I don't want to be rude, but that's how I feel about it.' Mr Farage called his own Reform UK's success in British elections last week a 'huge result', and pointed to the party having 'prominent female members' as well as 37-year-old ex-Olympian Luke Campbell within their ranks. 'The whole look of the party has changed. Not because of positive discrimination, which I disagree with completely. That's how it's grown, that's how it's evolved. And amazingly, my popularity since last Thursday is up by five points,' Mr Farage said. Meanwhile, the Liberal Party is looking for a new leader after Mr Dutton suffered a shock loss in his Queensland seat of Dickson. Deputy leader Sussan Ley and shadow treasurer Angus Taylor are preparing to go head-to-head for the top job and potentially may be joined by shadow immigration minister Dan Tehan in the contest.

Does Vladimir Putin have a ‘secret' 10-year-old son?
Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'secret' children keep making headlines. An anti-Kremlin website has claimed the first pictures of the leader's 10-year-old son, whom he allegedly shares with his ex-Olympian partner Alina Kabaeva, have surfaced. Earlier, reports emerged of Putin's 'secret' daughter, who is working as a DJ in Paris read more Russian President Vladimir Putin is reported to have several 'secret' children. File Photo/AP Vladimir Putin's alleged children continue to make headlines. After reports of a 'secret' daughter in Paris, there are now claims of photos of the Russian president's purported son being leaked. Putin, 72, officially has two children from a previous marriage to former flight attendant Lyudmila Ocheretnaya — daughters Maria, 37, and Katerina, 35. However, reports about his alleged children out of marriage keep emerging every now and then. Let's take a closer look. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Who is Putin's 'secret' son? An anti-Kremlin website has claimed the first pictures of Russian President Vladimir Putin's 10-year-old secret son have surfaced. The images of Ivan Vladimirovich Putin were unveiled by the Telegram channel VChk-OGPU, reported Daily Mail. Putin is said to have had the boy with his rumoured longtime partner, ex-Olympian Alina Kabaeva. 'VChK-OGPU [channel] has obtained a photo of the most secret and probably the loneliest boy in Russia', a report by the anti-Kremlin Telegram channel with connection to law enforcement and the secret services said. The boy is said to take after Putin in his Soviet childhood. The post reads, 'This is Ivan Vladimirovich Putin. He hardly communicates with other children, spending all his time with guards, governesses, [and] teachers.' Ivan also has a four-year-old brother, Vladimir Junior, who was not pictured in the released images. WATCH : Putin's secret 10-year-old 'son' seen for first time #viral — MOHAMMAD AHSAN (@MOHAMMAD_AARSH) April 22, 2025 The Russian president has never admitted to his reported relationship with 41-year-old Kabaeva. When asked about rumours about him dating the famed gymnast in a 2008 news conference in Italy, he dismissed them, saying: 'I always disliked people who go around with their erotic fantasies, sticking their snot-ridden noses into another person's life.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, Dossier Centre, an investigative news outlet, confirmed last September that Kabaeva had two sons with Putin. Ivan, an avid hockey player, was reportedly born in 2015 at a maternity clinic in Lugano, Switzerland. The children are constantly guarded by FSO [Federal Protective Service] officers. 'The brothers have little contact with their peers and see little of their parents, but they appreciate the rare moments they manage to spend with their father,' said Dossier Centre, as per Daily Mail. The boys do not attend school but are taught in Putin's high-security palaces. According to the investigative report from Dossier Center, Putin and Kabaeva, an Olympic gold medalist, likely began their alleged romantic relationship in 2008. On the birth of Ivan, the Russian president shouted in elation: 'Hurray! Finally! A boy!'' New York Post reported, citing a source in Russian media. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Putin sent the entire family to Switzerland, Page Six reported. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Alina has two young boys and twin girls with Putin who were born in Switzerland,' a source claimed. 'While Putin carries out his assault on Ukraine, attacking innocent citizens and causing a refugee crisis, his family is holed up in a very private and very secure chalet somewhere in Switzerland,' the source told Page Six in 2022. Putin's 'little ones' Putin has kept his personal life out of the limelight. However, five months back, he mentioned watching fairy tale films with 'my little ones', as per Daily Mail. The Russian president said, 'Our historic fairy tales and epic tales are being revived. I myself sometimes watch these with pleasure with my little ones.' RT translated his words as 'my junior family members'. As per the Dossier Center, Ivan is a fan of Disney cartoons and movies, much to the chagrin of his father. Vladimir Putin's other children Before Ivan, media reports about 's 'secret' daughter came to light. Last year, Ukrainian news programme TSN reported that Putin's alleged illegitimate daughter, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, is living in Paris and working as a DJ. She goes by Luiza Rozova or Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova and 'vanished' before the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war. Rozova is the child of Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a former cleaner who is now a multimillionaire, reported TSN. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Russian president's two eldest daughters, Maria and Katerina, have also stayed away from the spotlight. As per a Business Insider report, Maria, a medical researcher, is married to Dutch businessman Jorrit Faassen. Katerina is an accomplished acrobatic dancer and a tech executive. Katerina Tikhonova (L), daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, dances with Ivan Klimov during the World Cup Rock'n'Roll Acrobatic Competition in Krakow, Poland April 12, 2014.
