Bruce Jenner is starting to speak up days following his involvement with a fatal California car crash on Saturday. As to what Jenner star is currently feeling, a source from Hollywood Life said the reality TV star feels 'traumatized' about the situation.

"If there were one word to sum up how Bruce feels right now, it would be 'traumatized'. Bruce is overwhelmed with grief and in severe pain over what's transpired," the source said.

CNN reported that the car racer enthusiast/athlete also gave an official statement expressing his sincerest condolences to the 69-year old woman driver, identified by Kim Howe (said to be Kim Kardashians' neighbor in the Calabasas gated community) who died during the accident.

"My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident. It is a devastating tragedy, and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible," Jenner channeled his words through his publicist, Alan Nierob.

In the initial police investigations, the reality TV star said that he was being chased by the paparazzi which have contributed much to the incident. However, investigators are quick to ignore these claims.

That is a very regular occurrence, and (there is) no indication at this time it was a contributing factor of the crash," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Lecrivain said in interviews.

After the incident, Jenner also underwent a sobriety test that investigates if he is under the influence of alcohol while driving. However, the tests are negative claiming the TV father is sober that time, The Independent said.

Investigators also asked Jenner to hand over his cellphone as part of standard operating procedures, The Guardian said.

"It's a fairly standard procedure to ask people to hand over their cellphones in a situation like this, so you can imagine that is very likely to happen. We can get a search warrant if anyone declines to make their phone available to us," sergeant Philip Brooks of the Los Angeles sheriff's department said in an interview.

The accident happened at a section of the Pacific Coast Highway, north of Los Angeles at noon time. No one are still arrested as of Sunday. I
