That seems pretty harsh regardless of what happened, but if the reports are correct he wasn't driving.shodog wrote:justinspeed79 wrote:Ouch. That's a pretty low blow given the circumstances.shodog wrote:Must have been a bad crash because he has walked away unscathed from many crashes in his movies
Oh well, if you drive like a dumbass you end up in the pictures above

He was not driving from what I have read, Either way... accidents are the worst. My sentiments go out to his closest.

Although I do not like really dumb car movies like this or gone in 60 etc, it is sad to see this news. Although maybe it will make some think twice before exceeding their skill level behind the wheel.

Like him or not, it's a sad and tragic death. RIP Paul Walker.

According to various news reports, the driver was listed as Roger Rodas. He was an experienced race car driver who had two wins in the Pirelli Driver's Cup with Porsche and later moved up to the Pirelli World Challenge Series driving #52 Mustang Boss. He had his best finish in Toronto with a 5th place. Roger is also listed as owner of the Rodas Group (Financial Advisors) and the owner of Cielo Recycling.

So I guess the lesson here is: if you do a movie about street racing, stay away from Porsches...
