RIP Paul Walker
 
Known mostly as brian from fast and the furious movies. In real life he did a lot of work for charity and unfortunately lost his life in a car wreck whilst doing some of that charity work.

Its a sad loss of someone who seemed to do "A lister" as it should be done.

RIP.

Roger Rodas was driving at the time, that's now been confirmed but wasn't at the time of my original post.
I don't know of him or his reputation but he was a former racing driver, police also report now that speed was a factor.

Very apparent when you view this video, the debris scatters for a considerable distance.

Where did you see that. The last I saw was that they still hadn't formally identified either body, let alone who was in which seat.

He certainly was when they left in the car 30 minutes earlier, which doesn't necessarily mean he still was at the time of the crash.

Bbc website reported he was the passenger almost straight away, whether that was fact or presumption journalism who knows.
