"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," Bruce said in a statement to Us Weekly

Former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner has spoken out for the first time since experiencing a multiple care collision on Saturday, February 7, that left one person dead and seven injured in Malibu.

In a recent statement released by the reality star to Us Weekly:

"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. It is a devastating tragedy and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible."

According to the Los Angeles Times, Jenner reportedly rear-ended a Lexus, after the driver had rear-ended a Toyota Prius. Unfortunately, the driver of the Lexus was killed after their car was propelled into oncoming traffic.

Despite speculations that Jenner was on alcohol when the accident happened, he passed a sobriety test and voluntarily submitted a blood sample on Monday.

It was also reported that paparazzi were chasing the 65-year-old's vehicle, but police told CNN there are no signs that photographers played a role in the crash.

The Los Angeles Times reports that police plan to examine the cellphone records of the reality star and others involved in the accident to see if texting played a role.
