Horrific footage shows the ravine where Caitlyn Jenner’s manager and longtime friend Sophia Hutchins died in a fatal ATV crash.
Hutchins tragically died on Wednesday in a quad bike accident after plunging down a cliff near the reality TV star’s Malibu home.
Her ATV is believed to have struck the bumper of a moving car and was thrown down a ravine. Aerial footage captured by KCAL shows the vehicle overturned in the brush.
Hutchins’ Polaris ATV appears to have come to a stop on top of another vehicle. The vehicle’s blue grill is seen lying on top of another rusty vehicle, which also appeared to have gone over the cliff.
Sources revealed that after striking the car’s bumper, the impact forced the ATV and Hutchins ended up ‘plummeting 350ft down into a ravine.’
First responders pronounced Hutchins dead at the scene. The two individuals in the car struck by Hutchins and the ATV were not injured.
It is not yet known if Jenner witnessed the crash or was at home at the time of the tragic incident.

Caitlyn Jenner ‘s manager and longtime friend Sophia Hutchins died in a fatal ATV crash
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 4200 block of Decker Canyon Road just after 11.30am local time (2.30pm EST) Wednesday.
When officers arrived on scene, they determined a pickup truck had collided with the back of Hutchins’ Polaris ATV, KCAL reports.
The collision caused the off-road vehicle to veer over the cliff.
Hutchins, like Jenner, was transgender and cited the father-of-six as the inspiration for coming out in college back in 2016.
In 2017, she moved into Jenner’s $3.5million Malibu mansion and began working as the star’s manager, taking over the role from Jenner’s ex-wife Kris Jenner, 69, after their 2015 divorce.
Hutchins was Jenner’s confidant for over a decade after the celebrated Olympian, 75, came out as a transgender woman in 2015.
The pair met that year and appeared in multiple episodes of the television documentary series I Am Cait, a spin-off of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Despite living under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that she and Jenner ‘were never romantically involved’ – insisting it was all about work and friendship.
‘Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,’ Hutchins said.
In 2020, Hutchins posed for an online ad campaign for Kim Kardashian’s highly successful clothing line SKIMS.
Hutchins was particularly close to Kris, speaking to her regularly, and also had a good relationship with Jenner’s daughters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27. The siblings once gave Hutchins a stunning heart-shaped diamond necklace for Christmas.
‘I’m on good terms with all the family, but I’m closest with Kris, Kim, Kylie and Kendall’, Hutchins said.
