Paul Walker, the actor who played undercover agent Brian O'Conner in
the Fast & Furious movies, is dead. He died in a car accident
Saturday afternoon November 30th in California, USA. He had 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."
Roger Rodas was helped to establish Paul Walker's charity Reach Out
Worldwide. He was the CEO of Always Evolving, a performance shop for
high end vehicles owned by Walker, located in Valencia.
Paul Walker is survived by a 15 year old daughter named Meadow.
