"We've learned the Sheriff's Dept. concluded in its 161-page report that Jenner 'set off a chain of events' that led to the death of a motorist on Pacific Coast Highway, and the report says Jenner violated the law by traveling at an unsafe speed," reports TMZ.

Jenner was actually driving below the speed limit, but driving at an unsafe speed for the road conditions that day, Det. Richard Curry of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told the LA Times.

A single misdemeanor manslaughter charge could mean a year-long jail sentence.

Jenner has previously said she was not texting at the time of the accident, and that the paparazzi were following her that day but she was not evading them.
