The car in which Hollywood actor Paul Walker and his friend died may have been travelling at a speed of 100mph or more, a coroner’s report has found.
The 2005 Porsche Carrera GT crashed on November 30 before bursting into flames – killing both the Fast & Furious star and his friend Roger Rodas.
Investigators have found that there were no mechanical problems with the sports car or faults with the road in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles.
Rodas, 38, who was driving, had fourth-degree burns and severe skull fractures while Walker had multiple broken bones. Both also suffered 100 per cent burns.
Neither men had alcohol nor drugs in their system, according to the coroner, who ruled their deaths an accident.
The red Porsche was travelling ‘at an unsafe speed, approximately 100+ mph’, the report quotes witnesses as saying.
It also added: ‘For unknown reasons, the driver lost control of his vehicle.’
The crash happened as Walker, 40, took a short break from filming Fast & Furious 7 – the film’s release has since been delayed by nearly a year to April 2015.
The Porsche crashed into two trees and a lamppost before exploding into a fireball. Three data recorders survived that may give investigators more information.
