Paul Walker Death

At 3:30 p.m. on November 30, 2013, Paul Walker and Roger Rodas, Paul’s financial advisor, departed an event for Reach Out Worldwide, Walker’s charity event for Typhoon Haiyan victims. Rodas traveled between 80 and 93 mph in a 45 mph zone on Hercules Street in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, while driving Walker’s Porsche Carrera.

The vehicle collided with a concrete lamppost and two trees before catching fire. The males were unable to be extracted from the vehicle by bystanders. Rodas and Walker passed away due to burns and severe injuries.
