The Fast and the Furious star Paul Walker has passed away after a single-car accident Saturday afternoon.
The collision occurred in Santa Clarita, Calif. -- just north of Los Angeles -- when the driver of the Porsche Walker was in lost control of the car, slamming into a tree, according to TMZ.

The website reports that the car then burst into flames after the collision. It is unclear if the 40-year-old actor was behind the wheel at the time.

According to Santa Clarita Signal, the fatal crash happened around 3:30 p.m. near Always Evolving Performance Motors where he was reportedly hosting a meet-and-greet.

“At the conclusion of the accident the vehicle struck a light standard and the whole car was burned,” a Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman told the Santa Clarita Signal. "The two occupants of the vehicle were unable to get out in time."

Too fast .... Yet too furious. . .

RIP.

So the friend was driving? How fast do you have to be driving to burst into flames? I guess people die from car impacts at 15 mph, but this seems highly avoidable. :-( Sorry to see anyone go like that.

shit circumstances, sounds like he was a decent bloke too with charities etc.

RIP

F&F Movies wont be the same...

**The Big Sexy** · 12-01-2013, 02:36 AM

F/F movies are awesome... 1,5,6 were probably the best of them... but I am a fan of all.

As an ER Trauma RN, I see the aftermath and accompanying photos from EMS/flight/firefighter crews on scene. I'd say easily travelling in excess of 140 mph, vehicle most likely flipped a few times prior to striking pole…way too much damage to the vehicle. Both driver and passenger most likely died on impact and NOT from burns. Very tragic loss for the occupants and their families.

That is a real shame !

**crawfBigG** · 12-01-2013, 06:44 AM

Sad.. again way too young, loved those F&F movies. He was a decent actor in some of his other flicks too. Can't name them but I remember thinking that while watching them. RIP... Too many of these typed here lately...

**Baldiewonkanobi** · 12-01-2013, 10:06 AM

Yes, sad. I dunno….would like to see cameras, if any, from local business and traffic lights. Smells to me of a street race and 2nd car booked.
