PAUL WALKER - STAR OF FAST & FURIOUS DIES IN CAR CRASH
Paul Walker, 40, the star of the movie “Fast
& Furious” series, died on Saturday the 30th of November, in a car crash the killed two people,
his manager said. He was travelling with his friend, Roger Rodas, to attend a
charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. The Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s department said that deputies found a car engulfed in flames when
they responded to a report of a collision in the community of Valencia in
California.
The two people found in the car were said to dead on the spot,
after the car they were in--a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a pole and
caught fire. Although several people who saw the crash rushed to the site to
save them, they were unable to pull either one of the men out of the car and
couldn't extinguish the flames with the fire extinguishers they brought with
them. Speed
was a factor in the crash, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said. A 45
