[VIDEO & Graphic Photo] An Emotional Tyrese Shows Up At Paul Walker’s Crash Site, Mourns With Fans + New Details
And here’s an entertaining blooper reel.
Here’s an update on the latest surrounding the tragic accident. According to the LA Times, the vehicle belong to Walker, but his friend Roger Rodas was the driver. People, including friends of Walker and Rodas tried to put the fire out with an extinguisher, but there was nothing they could do. Officials at the scene held back a childhood friend of Walker (from saving the actor’s body from the burning car) and firefighters had to pull Rodas’ young son away from the wreckage. The car knocked over a tree and a concrete lamp post. The Porsche was badly burned and mangled. Rodas, 38, was active in philanthropy and supported several charities through his racing. There are UNCONFIRMED reports that suggest Rodas and Walker were performing car tricks (doughnuts, etc.) before the crash. According to the Associated Press, police suggest that speed was a factor. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Fast and Furious 7 “won’t be scrapped” but production will be delayed.
