Walker was a passenger in a friend's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and both were attending a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide, in the community of Valencia in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood.

The website for the charity said the Saturday event was intended to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Speed was a factor in the crash, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said.

The wreck took place about 3:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET), about 300 yards from the office park where the event was held. The speed limit there is 45 mph.
Up and down the road near the crash site were burned rubber and doughnut marks as though someone smoked their tires in figure 8 patterns.
"I don't know if the marks in the road are related to the crash," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen.

Deputies arrived at the scene to find a vehicle on fire, he said. Once fire crews put the flames out, they found two occupants, both of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.

Saturday evening, all that remained was the burnt mangled metal of the red car and a light pole that had been knocked down.

I know i speak for many when i say i looked up to him and his act in those movies made me as into cars as i am now. He will be missed

[Kalstar]

Hope he died from the impact. Death by fire must be the worst way to go.

Really too bad, he was a true gear head. Not mush different from us. He was not the typical asshat Hollywood type.

The bodies are burned beyond recognition. They are waiting for dental records to identify them. Not sure exactly how they died yet.

[DemonWithin99]

terrible way to go, even worse that he wasn't driving.

Really can't stand the media with idiot questions like 'Do you believe speed was an issue?'

really...

do you not see the same image I am?

[Formula413]

Yeah really, if the wreckage would fit in a soup can it's pretty safe to say speed was a factor. That doesn't make their deaths any less tragic though.
