Woke up to this unbelievably sad news. Paul
Walker, the actor who played undercover
agent Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious
movies, is dead. He was killed yesterday
afternoon Saturday November 30th in a tragic
car accident in California. He had been
shooting another installment of the Fast &
Furious franchise in Atlanta but returned
home to California for thanksgiving when the
accident occurred while on his way back from
a charity event.
Paul Walker was a passenger in a Porsche
Carrera GT driven by his longtime friend,
Roger Rodas, who lost control and crashed
into a light pole and tree in the community of
Valencia, north of Los Angeles. When police
arrived at the scene of the accident, the car
was in flames and the two men inside the car
were declared dead at the scene. Paul was
just 40.
"It is with a truly heavy heart that we
must confirm that Paul Walker passed
away today in a tragic car accident while
attending a charity event for his
organisation Reach Out Worldwide. He
was a passenger in a friend's car, in
which both lost their lives. We are
stunned and saddened beyond belief by
this news." A statement on Paul's
Facebook page said.
His co-star Vin Diesel said in a post on
Instagram that he was speechless: "Brother I
will miss you very much. I am absolutely
speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel.
Rest in Peace."
