Details of the Crash

The crash occurred on a winding Malibu road, where Hutchins was reportedly driving her ATV at a high speed. She attempted to pass a Mazda sedan on a steep incline but clipped the rear of the car. This caused her to lose control and veer off the road, plunging 350 feet down a cliff.

First Responders and Investigation

First responders rushed to the scene but were unable to save Hutchins, who was pronounced dead at the site. The two occupants of the Mazda, however, escaped unharmed.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is currently investigating the crash, with speed being a significant factor under consideration. The steep and winding nature of the road adds another layer of complexity to the investigation.
