Fast and Furious Paul Walker Dead?

[Jewrrick]

The report even states unsafe speed, how can she argue with that? I am often baffled how people can't face the fact that their loved one made a mistake and died.

Kristine Rodas' attorney, Mark Geragos, said he hired the top experts in the country to evaluate the wreckage and crash. The results, he said, were an unbiased look at the accident that refutes an official investigation that determined the sports car was speeding at up to 94 mph (151 kph) when it crashed.

Because Porsche engineers assisted in the investigation.

This was just a matter of time.


LOS ANGELES — The widow of the man who was driving a Porsche sports car that crashed and killed Fast & Furious actor Paul Walker sued the automaker on Monday, claiming design flaws caused both men to die in a fiery crash in November.

The wrongful death lawsuit by Kristine M. Rodas says her husband was driving at 55 mph — not at unsafe speeds as law enforcement investigators determined — before it crashed last year. Roger W. Rodas was driving a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT capable of speeds more than 200 mph (320 kph), but his wife's lawsuit says the vehicle lacked a proper crash cage and safety features in the gas tank that would have saved both men's lives.

The lawsuit also contends that a failure in the car's suspension system forced it to careen out of control and strike three trees while driving down a street in Santa Clarita, California.

"The Carrera GT was unsafe for its intended use by reason of defects in its manufacture, design, testing, component and constituents, so that it would not safely serve its purpose," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America, which did not immediately return email messages seeking comment.

The results of an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol were released in March and concluded that it was unsafe speed and not mechanical problems that caused the crash. That investigation was aided by engineers from Porsche, who evaluated the wreckage of the rare car.

The differing opinions on the crash will likely be a part of any trial over the lawsuit, which could take years to resolve.

Roger Rodas was trained as a race car driver, according to his wife's lawsuit. He left behind two young children upon his death.

Walker, the star of the Fast & Furious film franchise, co-owned an auto racing team with Rodas named Always Evolving.

Walker's death occurred on a break in the filming of Fast & Furious 7, and the actor's two brothers are helping complete action scenes in the film. The film's release has been delayed until April 2015.

Yeah, that's what I remembered. I guess that can be chalked up to sensationalism. Or some moral statement: "They deserved to die because they were putting children at risk by speeding through an area where they play!!!!"

[CJ]

Residential sounds so much more sensational though.

[Big A]

BTW.. Residential neighborhood? Looked to be industrial.

It is.

Speed was a factor in them losing control. Sudden impact, explosion and fire did the rest.

Hell, they could have died going slower.

Just saw an article on AOL that also mentioned that the tires on the car were the originals, and that at 9 years old they had hardened, which diminished the traction.

Ugh.. Looking back it was TMZ:

Investigators also noted the tires were 9 years old. Shortly after Paul died ... law enforcement sources told us they were the original tires on the car and they had hardened ... which means it lost traction on the road.

District b13 was a good movie, this one with walker looks cheesy. In b13 they drove customized imports and ad gun fights and Parkour was in the film, this one has a v6 mustang pony package and jumping off of buildings


Yeah gonna see it
