Paul Walker, 40, died in a car accident in California on Saturday afternoon
Actor Paul Walker — a self-styled adrenaline junkie best known for his role in “The Fast and the Furious” movies — was killed Saturday in a fiery single-car wreck in Southern California.
The 40-year-old Walker was riding in a red Porsche GT about 3:30 p.m. when the sports car flew off the road and slammed into a tree in Santa Clarita, authorities and witnesses said.
Paul Walker died helping the Philippines
Paul Walker was killed on a fiery car crash after his Porsche lost control Saturday (US), Sunday Philippine time. But the even more heartbreaking news is that the Fast and Furious actor died while raising funds to help super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) victims in the Philippines.
Walker was in California for a car show / fund raiser activity that will support typhoon relief efforts in the Philippines according to sources. The accident was actually one of those test spins for the car show according to a witness.
"Walker was attending the charity event with his organization Reach Out Worldwide when the accident happened. His official Facebook Fan Page wrote:
