Yesterday, Kylie Jenner made headlines for causing a three-car collision when she rammed her Mercedes SUV into the tail end of a vehicle in front of her. The car sustained some damage, but fortunately, there's always more where that came from; TMZ reports that the 16-year-old was back on the road today in a brand new whip.
And yes, it is another Mercedes SUV. This time it's white instead of black, though, so there's that. No word on whether that was just a spare SUV that they happened to have on hand should this type of situation arise, or if she actually went and bought a new car.
The crash happened on Wednesday at about 5:00 p.m. in Calabasas. Jenner reportedly rear-ended a Toyota, which in turn hit a Subaru. She allegedly got out of the car and apologized after the crash, exchanging information with the other drivers.
Jenner had celebrated her 16th birthday just 18 days before the crash, although she'd been driving with a learner's permit for months before that.
