Paul Walker dies in car crash

[GommeInc]

From 3 other sources I checked I got "may have been a factor"

Actually why were they originally unsure surely youd have it on cctv?

I heard that the Camera (or whatever that Porsche is) generally has terrible grip based on being rear wheel drive, having lots of power, no weight to it etc. Apparently the skid marks that lead up to the crash look very dodgy - as if he was applying lots of power which led to it spinning out of control. It's always a problem when having these sorts of cars in really urbanised areas :/

I wasn't going to post and get involved, however I am going to.

May both Paul Walker and Roger Rodas rest in piece.
Both men did die, the reason Paul is getting more attention is because like myself people have been watching his movies from a young age and he has become a household name...

Look, regardless of what happened - no matter who's at fault, two people are dead and I agree we only know because they're famous, but it's still a shame.
A street race probably did happen, after all both characters were known to like speed, thrills and all that - Paul admitted loads of these things in interviews. However, they still did not deserve to die.

That's all I've got.

On the news says could be possible the steering fluid was leaking...

And what would this mean? I don't know much about cars, so to me that suggests that steering wouldn't work? Why wouldn't you then break?

And how do you even find out that steering fluid was leaking before the crash? I can imagine it definitely leaking afterwards with the state of the car.

Erm, well apparently he didn't attempt to swerve or anything. Said there was the fluid all down the road.

If that's the case, that's pretty strange then. Surely as soon as you realise you lose steering you slam on your brakes? If that's the case, surely that suggests he was going at some speed initially to have a crash so big.

Yeh, I don't disagree with that. It's said to be a street racers road.

I guess it shows even the confident/trained drivers shouldn't be dangerous.

News article about the brake fluid.

Honestly it makes complete sense

I'm sick of hearing about this, I don't care.
