A publicist for former Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner said that the former was not texting while driving when he figured in a frightening highway accident that left one woman dead, the Associated Press reports.

"The evidence will show that Bruce was not texting at the time of the accident," Alan Nierob said, adding that Jenner is open to providing his cellphone record should authorities request for it.

The reality TV star was driving a black Cadillac Escalade along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu when he hit a Lexus sedan from behind, which in turn slammed into a Toyota Prius. The Lexus was shoved into oncoming traffic and smashed head-on with a black Hummer.

The driver of the Lexus, 69-year-old Kim Howe from Calabasas, California, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a Yahoo! report.

"My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident," Jenner said in a released statement.

"It is a devastating tragedy I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them."

The incident was first reported by TMZ, which also posted images online showing the Lexus crushed in both the front and the back. The photos also showed the Hummer incurring a heavily damaged engine with the hood popped open.

Responding police said that Jenner passed field sobriety tests and voluntarily submitted a blood sample to determine whether he was under the influence.

The accident comes at the heels of news that Jenner will be publicly discussing his transition into becoming a woman with Diane Sawyer of ABC.

On a side note, Jenner won the gold in the men's decathlon at the 1976 Olympic games.
