Caitlyn Jenner has finally broken her silence about the accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in California that left a woman dead – and for which she could face jail time.

Caitlyn Jenner On Fatal Crash

The Los Angeles County prosecutors are currently considering whether or not Jenner should face a misdemeanor manslaughter charge for the February multi-car crash.

Last month, the Los Angeles County sheriff’s detectives presented evidence to prosecutors to show that Jenner could be guilty of misdemeanor manslaughter in the death of Kim Howe, reported the Los Angeles Times.

“I remember it very little, I remember it happening and that’s about it,” Jenner told Today’s Matt Lauer. “A tragedy like this, you’ll never get over it. You just learn to live with it the best you possibly can.”

According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, Jenner was driving at an unsafe speed when her Cadillac Escalade hit Howe’s car, sending it into oncoming traffic where it was hit by a Hummer, leading to Howe’s death. Jenner, however, claims that she was going under the speed limit.

“I was under the speed limit,” the 65-year-old former Olympian told Lauer. “I was going 46 in a 50 – my air bag didn’t even go off.”

When Lauer pointed out that the worst-case scenario could see her serving up to a year in prison, Jenner admitted that there’s a slim possibility that she, a trans woman, county be sent to the men’s Los Angeles County Jail.

“The media wants that picture, don’t they,” Jenner quipped, before getting serious and adding, “That is the worst case scenario. I will say the men’s county jail, it is an enormous problem that they would put trans women in a men’s county jail.”
