Paul Walker‘s rep has confirmed that the Fast & Furious actor has died in a car crash on Saturday (November 30).

“It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide,” his team wrote on his Facebook page. “He was a passenger in a friend’s car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences.”

Paul passed away in a single-car accident in Santa Clarita, California after his Porsche GT car crashed into either a pole or tree and then exploded. It is not known right now who was behind the wheel of the car or why they crashed.

What? Cars actually explode in reality when they hit something? I thought this only happens in movies and video games.
Oh well, good old video games teach us more important lessons then school every could.

They didn't say that the car exploded. But a leaking fuel and a spark will cause a fire though.
Anyway. R.I.P

I was a fan of Walker. Something is fishy about his death. I feel someone has set it up.

Nah, It seems the "speed and the car" was a factor in the crash.

A 45 mph speed limit sign was attached to the light pole knocked down by the Porsche.

The car, which sold for $450,000 when new, is a notoriously difficult vehicle to handle, even for professional drivers, according to Autoweek magazine. A top driver called it "scary," the magazine reported Sunday. It is powered by a V-10, 610-hp engine.

I think it was because the style of the car had the engine at the back and the gas tank in the front, or something along those lines.

Actually, the mistakes are not always in the drivers, but the Porsche GTs, are really powerful car, equipped with MR engine, make it harder to control but gives you more power on acceleration and and more torque at low RPM, besides, the car doesn't have ESC, which mostly city car and passenger car have...

Only if you're a shitty driver.
