[NOW]

Wow I'm utterly shocked and devastated, he always seemed like a likeable dude

[Brooke-lynn]

I'm posting this with a throw away account because I don't want to profit from this tragedy, but here are some facts about the accident today that everyone needs to know:

I was at the event an hour before the crash and 3 of my close friends were first responders at the scene.

Paul was NOT driving the car, the car was being driven by Roger Rodas, his business partner at Always Evolving

They were NOT street racing - There was no other car involved

The only car involved was a Porsche Carrera GT owned by Always Evolving, which is part owned by Paul Walker

The crash happened on a quiet industrial area, directly in front of the AE shop

Paul was there to support a Christmas Toy Drive - This was NOT a racing event / underground street race / anything of the sort

Roger lost control of the car, spun, hit a pole and the car broke in half and burned

Edit: There were NO DRUGS and NO ALCOHOL involved, at all. There was zero alcohol at the event.

Paul was a very casual acquaintance of mine, I doubt if he even remembers who I was, but he was very close friends with a good friend of mine - Paul was was very gracious to everyone he met and an overall nice guy.

Please help me dispel any rumors that could taint his memory - Yes, he was the Fast and Furious guy, but street racing and endangering lives was not his thing.

Paul has done great work with his charity Reach Out WorldWide including sending medical teams and supplies to the Philippines recently.

Clarification: I was NOT at the scene and was not a witness, I left to go get some food and heard about the accident and the fire dept was already gone by the time I returned.

Edit this is where the crash happened. The AE shop is directly behind it. http://goo.gl/maps/J85LQ

He was always helping others.

I think they should end the fast and furious series now. It just seems wrong to keep going.

There were a few Fast & Furious movies that didn't star Paul Walker though.

They need to end it for two reasons: The story line has been dragged out long enough and rarely do replacements of the original cast live up to the part.

Fast & the Furious is literally nothing without Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. & Given the circumstances I'm pretty sure the upcoming Fast 7 will be their highest box office gross.

[DayFusion]

Too bad. Rest in peace.

I think they will make him die (in a car crash, again ) in the movie, then the plot will go to another direction

RIP, he was cute and seemed like a nice guy.

No Paul starred in every one except for Tokyo Drift.

Nope. That was Vin Diesel.

Okay, I'm officially in tears.

"Him and his buddy, his brother in arms at heart just decided to joyride, take a spin. Something we all do. We’re all car enthusiasts. ... We’re all here driving, enjoying each other, and God must’ve needed help,” said Antonio Holmes, who said he was a friend of Walker.
“We all heard from our location (the accident). It’s a little difficult to know what it was. Someone called it in and said it was a vehicle fire.
“We all ran around and jumped in cars and grabbed fire extinguishers and immediately went to the vehicle. It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped. Employees, friends of the shop. We tried. We tried. We went through fire extinguishers.”

They were still alive, yelling for help, helpless reaching for help but nothing anyone can do to save them.. OMG I'm so depressed.

[Lyrical.]

Crazy. Taken too young and had so much to live for.

Luda, Vin Diesel, and Tyrese remembering Paul
