Police probing yesterday's fatal car addictent involving Bruce Jenner want to see his phone records and the phone itself, likely to see if he was texting and driving.
The 65-year-old Olympic champion himself was unharmed.
Jenner already volunteered to go to a nearby hospital to have blood drawn for alcohol testing, and authorities determined that he was not speeding.
Law enforcement sources also say Bruce tried to avoid the accident, as the tires on trailer (behind his SUV) produced significant skid marks.
At the last minute, Bruce's car swerved to the right, but was unable to avoid the Lexus, which it hit, and caused to swing left into oncoming traffic.
A Hummer hit the Lexus, killing the Lexus driver.
The actions of Prius driver, who was hit from behind by the Lexus in the chain reaction, have also been the subject of some debate by investigators.
That driver told police she stopped at a red light, but was about 300 feet away from one, and has given what authorities describe as a "vague" account.
All of this makes the notion of Bruce bearing responsibility for this tragedy seem unlikely, but understandably, the cops are turning over every stone.

It's illegal to text while driving in the state of California, and if he was doing so when he hit a car, he could face a vehicular manslaughter charge.
Even if he was texting and driving - a huge reach based on all of this anecdotal evidence - proving he was doing it at that moment would be difficult.
Maybe even impossible. As for why they didn't check his phone at the scene, one official responded that "we were more interested in his sobriety."
Bruce passed the sobriety test, and was issued no citations.
Jenner, of course, has been a celebrity gossip staple for years, but never more so than in recent weeks thanks to his surprising gender transformation.
Rumors of a Bruce Jenner sex change have surfaced for years, but they're no longer rumors; the transition will be documented in an E! reality show.
The accident is still under investigation, but is not expected to impact his transition from man to woman, or his plans to unveil it, in any way we know of.
