Paul Walker: 1973-2013
Paul Walker, the blue-eyed hunk best known for his recurring role in the "The Fast and the Furious" auto-racing movies, perished in a fiery sports car crash north of Los Angeles on Saturday.
Witnesses reported seeing a red Porsche carrying "Fast and Furious" actor Paul Walker burning on a Santa Clarita street Saturday, killing the actor and another person.
"It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped," Antonio Holmes told the Santa Clarita Valley Signal. He added the actor had been at a charity event earlier in the day.
The single-vehicle crash occurred about 3:30 p.m. in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, Sheriff’s Deputy Kim Manatt told The Times. Few details about how the crash occurred were available, but officials were investigating whether speed was a factor.
Holmes said the Porsche appeared to hit a tree and then slam into a light standard.
