paul walker dead at 40

The “Fast and Furious” actor Paul Walker was reported to have died on Saturday after his Porsche crashed and exploded.

TMZ cited “multiple sources connected to Paul” that the 40-year-old star lost control of the car and slammed into a post or tree, with the car bursting into flames after the impact. They published the photo below reportedly of the explosion.

A Santa Clarita police department officer confirmed to TheWrap that officers were investigating “significant traffic collision” on Constellation Road at the Rye Canyon loop, but could not confirm a fatality.

Walker is 40, and best known for starring multiple times in the “Fast and Furious” franchise. He is part of the cast of the latest in the series “Fast and Furious 7,” which is still filming.

A spokeswoman for Universal Pictures, which released the movies, was checking the information but had no immediate confirmation.

TMZ cited sources close to the actor saying he was in Santa Clarita for a car show to support the Philippines typhoon relief effort, and had been taking friends out for rides in his new Porsche GT. The accident happened during one of those test spins. The sources told the site that another person besides Walker was in the car.

Walker was also a professional race car driver and his racing team, Always Evolving, was based in Valencia, on Constellation Rd., around the corner from the site of the accident.

Always Evolving was hosting a heavily-publicized holiday toy drive. Soon before the crash, the official Twitter account for Always Evolving posted pictures of several cars on display, including Porsches.

my thoughts to his family and friends.

i put reportedly in the title in case it does turn out to be a hoax, considering the irony of a fast & furious star dying in a car wreck. but a lot of sites are also saying his representative confirmed it, so it's a tough sale:

extreme irony. Also the fact that a car exploded from hitting a tree is laughable. Mythbusters TRIED to make a car explode.....and still failed. If its true ill be very sad. But there are too many loose ends and weak points for me to believe it right now.

News stations, and his Facebook/Twitter page have confirmed it :( . I didn't watch any of the Fast and the Furious movies, but this is sad. R.I.P Paul Walker. I hope he finds peace, as well as his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones, friends, and his co-workers.

I hate seeing that shit. I was a vehicle rescue tech for a while. It's really not that uncommon for vehicles to ignite due to leaking fuels. If he was going super fast, lost control, and smacked into a tree, tons of shit could be leaking from the car. Also, the way the car looks in that picture isn't how it would have looked before the fire department came. After they suppressed the fire, they probably used the cutters to extricate his body from the vehicle. It may have even rolled a couple of times. It's hard to tell. Damn shame. RIP Paul.

the weirdest thing is, they would have to be going stupid fast. Its mid-engine. Which means the engine is pretty much in the back. Not quite, but almost. So to hit a tree and ignite, then explode, the tree would have to have made it all the way to the engine to cause damage to it. jesus thats a terrible.

Yeah a fire department. Heavy rescue are the trucks that have all the tools for vehicle extrication. And combination spreaders/cutters? I'm not sure you can get those at the store, so I'm guessing you have some experience with firefighting as well? If so, awesome. If not, that's also awesome that you know about them. I honestly had the impression, or reading somewhere on here that you did. It wouldn't surprise me.

I feel bad the dude died and his family grieves, but it's been a little overboard. Everyone on Facebook is posting about it, suddenly becoming his biggest fan. And besides a shitty movie series, he isn't known for much.
