This really stinks because I have been a fan of his since the very first Fast N Furious movie in 2001.According to the police he was a passenger in a import sports car and was on his way home from a charity event Sat night when the driver lost control and hit a tree which resulted in the car being engulfed in flames by the time the police department responded.They said that the fire was extinguished when the police got to the car but both passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.The Police Department says that speed was a factor so this wreck was senseless, it definitely could have been avoided if the driver had just been driving safely.

Saw pictures on the internet. Not a fan of fast and furious fan. I loved the movie joy ride. You never know what goes through people's mind before an accident. Why we're they speeding? What was the point? We're they thinking this is fun...people just don't think things will happen to them!

Soooo sad, I love the Fast and Furious movies. My brain doesn't remember the names of actors very well so I quit trying to. My hubby told me that he died this morning and I was like who and then he remembered I recognize by face not by name so he had to tell me that it was the (cute-(ad lib) blond in fast and furious then I realized who it was. Like I said so sad and needless.

Laurie, they were driving a car that was pronounced "the hardest car to handle" ever made. They lost control and spun out."If the speed kills me, dont cry because Im smiling" -Paul Walker-

There have been new updates coming out near daily on what happened to cause the wreck and subsequent deaths of the driver and Paul and basically as of now the car has been found at fault due to the lack of a built in accident avoidance system and more to the point stability control which when this particular car was made was no mandatory but is now.Porsche the maker of the Carerra GT the model that Paul was in has denied that the car was at fault but did acknowledge that this particular model no longer meets Federal regulations as of 2010 the issue here is this model car was only made from 2005 to 2007 and back then the regulations covering accident avoidance systems in cars was very loose as apposed to now.Jay Leno had a wreck on an enclosed race track in the same model car a couple of years back and nearly died and it was due to the car getting too loose on the back end which caused it to fish tail and had him driving head on into a wall which he nearly did and Jay is not an amateur driver.Ryan Dun another famous person was also killed when his Carerra GT fish tailed causing him to go off the road down hill which caused the car to flip/roll and when it came to a halt it burst into flames.This car has been associated with so many wrecks since it came out because it's too powerful and doesn't have any kind of stability control what so ever.When Ryan Dun died his family successfully sued Porsche and got a huge settlement out of it because Porsche was found to be responsible for putting out a car that is not safe to drive by any means.
