Los Angeles: Reality television star Bruce Jenner has been sued for wrongful death by relatives of the woman killed in a car crash involving the 1976 Olympic gold medallist on a Malibu highway in February, a Los Angeles court spokeswoman said on Friday.
Jenner, an occupant and the presumed driver of one of the vehicles, declined medical treatment at the scene, authorities have said.
The lawsuit came one week after Jenner declared in a nationally televised interview that he identifies as a woman, becoming the most high-profile American to come out as transgender. A publicist, however, has said Jenner still prefers to be referred to with male pronouns.
Jenner, 65, rose to fame 40 years ago with a record-breaking Olympic gold medal victory in the decathalon that earned him the unofficial title of "World`s Greatest Athlete."
Known to younger generations as the patriarch of reality TV`s Kardashian clan, Jenner went on ABC`s "20/20" last Friday to put to rest months of speculation that he was transitioning to life as a woman.
The Malibu car crash remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff`s Department.
