"Fast and Furious" Actor, Paul Walker Killed In Car Accident


Star of the Hollywood Blockbuster Franchise "Fast and Furious" was involved in a deadly single car accident in Southern California on Saturday. Officials claim speed was definitely a factor in the actor's death.

Walker was a passenger in a friend's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and both were attending a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide, in the community of Valencia in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood.

The website for the charity said the Saturday event was intended to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

The wreck took place about 3:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET), about 300 yards from the office park where the event was held. The speed limit there is 45 mph. Up and down the road near the crash site were burned rubber and doughnut marks as though someone smoked their tires in figure 8 patterns.

"I don't know if the marks in the road are related to the crash," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen.

Once fire crews put the flames out, they found two occupants, both of whom were pronounced dead at the scene Saturday evening, all that remained was the burnt mangled metal of the red car and a light pole that had been knocked down. The county coroner said that, given the condition of the bodies, it will take some time to definitively identify them.

Paul Walker was 40 years of age and leaves behind a 15-year old daughter, Meadow.

I think you'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard about this yesterday, everyone was talking about it.

Terrible actor with an amazing agent a bit like a certain Mr Reeves, still very sad story though, wasn't keen on the Fast & Furious films but quite enjoyed Running Scared, very different to his usual stuff, Into the Blue wasn't too bad either but that had nothing to do with him.   :)

Anyway, R.I.P. Paul Walker.   :(
