Fast and Furious actor Paul Walker has been killed in a fiery crash involving a friend’s red Porsche Carrera GT in Valencia, California.
Walker is said to have been attending a toy drive hosted by Always Evolving Performance Motors benefitting his charity and was in the passenger seat of the Porsche Carrera GT with friend, Roger Rodas, behind the wheel. Both were keen automotive enthusiasts.
It is unclear how the crash occurred, but the red Porsche Carrera GT slammed side-on into a tree where it burst into flames. A friend of Walker’s, Antonio Holmes revealed that witnesses attempted to douse the flames with fire extinguishers but were unsuccessful.
While speaking with Signal SCV, Holmes said, “We all heard from our location (the accident). It’s a little difficult to know what it was. Someone called it in and said it was a vehicle fire.
“We all ran around and jumped in cars and grabbed fire extinguishers and immediately went to the vehicle. It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped. Employees, friends of the shop. We tried. We tried. We went through fire extinguishers.”
Paul Walker had stared in all Fast and Furious films with the exception of the third instalment, Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. He leaves behind one child.

They must have been really moving. That thing was built to hit walls and other static objects at 180+. At least they didn't take out other peoples loved ones while they were at it.

may he rest in eternal peace!!
希望不要在有全世界人最爱死了包括漫画的配音的人海贼王！！！~~对吗大家~
深感遺憾…
祝福他。。
So sad, so young.
Better to buy a car made of real metal. Porsche GT uses lot of compound materials instead of steel. When it crashes, it can be on fire quickly. Same as Maserati.
caixujin, most people don't really plan on crashing when they buy a car, so the makeup of the car's materials are not part of the buying decision. lol
RIP Paul. We Love you
new info just came out saying they were drifting and doing donuts before the crash
The specific location of the gas tank makes this and other Porsches somewhat vulnerable under some circumstances.

yap..But we lost him
Two fools in a totally useless, ridiculously expensive machine put themselves and the general public at risk. I see little of merit it that.
