WildBillyT 11-30-2013 09:34 PM

Nobody has confirmed it yet. Everybody reporting it as real ALL credit TMZ as the source.

band77one 11-30-2013 09:39 PM

anything tmz says should be digested with a case of jack daniels

Appears all associated press websites are buzzing about it and his rep confirmed. Porsche Carrera gt. Appears a lot of celebs have died in Porsche's.......james dean, ryan dunn, and now this guy. Filming of fast 7 is only partially completed too...shame, I liked the dude...was a real car guy.

only problem is he made movies that inspired kids to like the wrong type of cars. :(

Seems to be confirmed on a number of sites including CNN. Pretty sad.

Edit - confirmed by his Facebook and Twitter account. He was a passenger in the car on the way to a charity event.

Sad day. Seemed to be helping people in the Philippines with his charity. An absolute shame.

greenformula92 12-01-2013 02:24 AM

This is very sad

So, does anyone else think that picture is a little off for a car that nailed a tree? Seems like the car got clipped by something then maybe hit the tree to come to a stop but a dead on tree hit is different results than that..

Furthermore, some of the reports claim that the car was being driven by the lead driver of some race car team, so how in the world could he lose control so badly...?

And then to really toss on the tin foil hat, another report says the accident was close enough to the charity that people ran to it with fire extinguishers to help put out the blaze..so either he was coming to it and the reports have it backwards, or somehow he left it, and got the car to mach 1 in less than a city block...

IDK. Odd to me.

He was on his way to the charity by what I've read. He was meeting the person who was driving to go to it and they drove the car they did because it was a car show/charity even paul walker started. And to the person asking about the rest of the scene as sad as it sounds there's actually a video on facebook a person took or the scene before police or the fire departments arrived with the car up in flames. The worst part is in the video the people who took it were more concerned about what kind of car it was and to park somewhere else because it was going to blow up. Even when they saw someone in the car they continued to film and not even try and help. Its disgusting.

redsoxsstink 12-01-2013 11:43 AM

links to the video Doug?

i agree the car looks like it lost control then hit the tree and got split in half. should be interesting to hear the the police come up with once they do their investigation

TheV6Guy 12-01-2013 11:48 AM

Nick. My phone won't let me copy it. I think its on my fb from lastnight when I found it. I rwd a newer article before and it said that speed was the possible cause of the accident but it wasn't definitely comfirmed yet.

redsoxsstink 12-01-2013 11:54 AM



i cant get on fb from work but a bit of searching netted this. TBH idk if i would run into a car burning like that. i dont blame them for being scared its gonna blow up

Yup. EMT/Fire guys might confirm that logic too. If the people inside can't be saved why risk other lives for no reason? Still sounds like a jerky thing to say, but rings true.

And for what it's worth, google 34.45323, -118.578837 and then street view.

How many of us would screw around on this road during off hours? And supposedly the driver was a seasoned pro driver.

Just shows that anything can happen.
