The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has released the 911 calls from the deadly car crash that Bruce Jenner was involved in on the Pacific Coast Highway, offering further glimpses into the severity of the accident, which left one woman dead.

In one recording, a female caller can be heard telling 911 that there was a “major car accident.”

Asked if there are any injuries, the woman responds, “I’m gonna say yes; it looks pretty bad.”

Later in the call, the woman can be heard saying,”That’s some of the people who were in it, and she’s got a little baby.”

The caller, who said that there were “at least three” vehicles involved in the multi-car pileup, added, “one car is destroyed.”

As reported earlier, the crash occurred just after noon Saturday on the Pacific Coast Highway. According to the Sheriff’s Department, a Prius driven by Jessica Marie Steindorff, 29, either slowed down or stopped, and a Lexus driven by 69-year-old Kim Howe of Calabasas, Calif., struck the Prius. Jenner’s Cadillac Escalade then reportedly rear-ended the Lexus, pushing it head-on into a Hummer.

Howe died at the scene.

Steindorff’s license had been suspended at the time of the accident, and according to media reports Howe had not had a valid driver’s license since 2007, when her license expired.

Meanwhile, investigators plan to obtain cell-phone records from each driver to determine if anyone was texting and driving, which is illegal in California. Jenner’s publicist stated that he was not texting in the moments leading to the accident.
