how did paul walker pass away

Paul Walker passed away on November 30, 2013, as a passenger in a single- vehicle car accident in Santa Clarita, California. He was riding in a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by his friend Roger Rodas. The car was traveling at a high speed—estimated between 80 and 100 mph—in a 45 mph speed zone when the driver lost control. The vehicle crashed into a concrete lamp post and two trees, then caught fire almost immediately after impact. Both men were knocked unconscious by the crash; Rodas died instantly from multiple traumatic injuries, while Walker died seconds later from a combination of traumatic and thermal (burn) injuries. No alcohol or drugs were found in their systems, and no mechanical failure or road conditions contributed to the accident. The investigation concluded that excessive speed and the age of the car’s tires were primary factors in the crash
