Bruce Jenner was involved in a massive car crash on Pacific Coast Highway on Saturday just a few miles from his home in Malibu, California.

Jenner, 65, was unharmed, but a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to PEOPLE that at least one person died and the crash involved four vehicles.

“It was a fatal crash at P.C.H., and it’s going to be closed for a few hours,” they said. “Traffic is stopped in both directions.”

“Bruce seemed physically okay after the accident, but he acted extremely concerned about the other people involved,” the witness told PEOPLE. “There was one fatality and several other people were injured.”

“Bruce walked around the accident scene without obvious injuries, but his car was damaged,” they continued.

The witness noted that it appeared that Jenner did not cause the accident. The L.A. Sheriff’s Department told PEOPLE that Jenner was one of the parties involved but that they are still investigating the cause of the accident.

The police spokeswoman confirmed that five people were taken to a local hospital for injuries and that four vehicles were involved. A spokesperson for the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff Station confirmed to PEOPLE that Jenner had completed a field sobriety test and was cooperating with authorities

Jenner’s rep confirmed that he was uninjured and had no further information relating to the accident.

Photos showed damage on the front end of Jenner’s Escalade. However, the majority of the damage appeared to be suffered by a white Lexus and a black Hummer.

It appeared that Jenner was towing a dune buggy at the time of the accident.

Jenner has been in the news in recent weeks after sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the former Olympic athlete is in the process of transitioning to female. Jenner is working on a docu-series with E! about the transition, but it did not appear that there were any cameras present at the time of the crash.
