Caitlyn Jenner's manager, Sophia Hutchins, has died in an accident at the age of 29. The tragedy, which involved an ATV, reportedly occurred "near Caitlyn's home," according to TMZ.
"We're told Sophia was riding the ATV on the road where Caitlyn lives when she struck the bumper of a moving car," the report said, adding that the force of "that impact forced the ATV over the shoulder ... sending it, and Sophia, plummeting 350 feet down into a ravine."
The news item added that Hutchins was pronounced dead at the scene.
The outlet said that the two women had been "longtime friends" in addition to their professional relationship. "Sophia and Caitlyn first met in 2015, soon after Jenner publicly announced her transition," TMZ recounted, "and Sophia would later appear in several episodes of the E! docuseries 'I Am Cait.'"
