Jessica Marie Steindorff, who said in court papers she was
injured in her vehicle in the crash, filed the personal injury
suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday accusing Jenner of
driving "negligently, carelessly, recklessly and wantonly" and
causing the crash.
Steindorff works as a Hollywood talent manager, according to
CNN.
Relatives of Kimberly Howe, who was killed in the Feb. 7
collision on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, filed a lawsuit in
May against Jenner for negligence and wrongful death.
Several other people were injured in the crash, authorities have
said, while Jenner escaped serious injury.
The lawsuit filed by Howe's relatives came one week after Jenner,
65, declared in a nationally televised interview in April that
she identifies as a woman, becoming the most high-profile
American to come out as transgender.
Jenner, who was then called Bruce Jenner, rose to fame with a
record-breaking Olympic gold medal victory in the decathlon in
the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. Jenner was known to younger
generations as the patriarch of reality TV's Kardashian clan.
