BRUCE JENNER’s tragic car crash early last month stirred up painful memories of the auto wreck that claimed the life of his younger brother decades ago. 

“Bruce is still haunted by the horror of that, and this new crash has only made that horror worse,” a source told The National ENQUIRER.

Just 18, Harold Burton “Burt” Jenner was killed soon after Bruce’s gold medal–winning performance in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics.

One of the gifts Bruce received following his triumph was a new dark silver Porsche – the same car that led to the tragedy.

On Nov. 30, 1976, Bruce, then 27, handed the keys of his sports car to his sibling so Burt could take it for a spin in Canton, Conn.

Those familiar with the crash said Burt picked up a female pal at Canton High School, the same academy he’d graduated from just five months earlier.

On a hilly and winding country road, Burt lost control of the Porsche and crashed.

The accident killed him and his passenger, Judith A. Hutchings, 16.

“My wife was home at the time of the crash and rushed out of the house. She found the car totaled,” Dan Keating, who still lives on the street where it happened, recalled to The ENQUIRER.

“The car veered across the road and hit a pole before it flipped and landed at the foot of our drive. Both passengers were ejected.”

The victims were rushed to the hospital, but both died later that day. The two teenagers were buried in cemeteries a few miles apart.

Judith’s still-anguished mother, Ruth Hutchings, now 77, told The ENQUIRER she remains angry at the Jenner family.

“I don’t want to ever hear that name again,” Judith blasted, in the wake of gender-transitioning Bruce’s fatal four-car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

The investigation into what happened on Feb. 7 is ongoing, with police believing the reality TV star’s Cadillac Escalade rear-ended a white Lexus sedan in front of him, and one of those vehicles rear-ended a Toyota Prius.

The driver of the Lexus, Kim Howe, 69 – a neighbor of the Kardashian-Jenner clan in Calabasas, Calif. – died at the scene. Bruce, 65, was unhurt and able to walk away.

“All these years later, his brother’s death still upsets him, and Bruce’s crash brought it up again,” said the source.

Bruce has called the accident “a devastating tragedy.”
