Caitlyn Jenner's SUV Kills Deer ... Caitlyn Not Behind Wheel

Caitlyn Jenner's SUV got in a collision in Malibu and this time a deer is dead, but we're told Caitlyn was not behind the wheel.

Jenner's Escalade struck the animal near her home, but she was not even in town. Her rep says she was visiting her mom when the accident occurred approximately 10 days ago.

We're told someone who worked for Jenner was behind the wheel ... she lets her staff use her vehicles when she's gone.

As you know, Jenner was involved in a fatal car crash earlier this year, also in Malibu. The D.A. ultimately declined to file criminal charges but she's being sued for wrongful death.

The Escalade's in the shop and Jenner is tooling around in her Porsche.
