Looking at the photos, there's a pole sticking out of where the passenger seat would be. If he wasn't driving, as as been alluded to previously, I doubt he was alive by the time the car caught fire. I know cars aren't the steel tanks of yesteryear, but you've got to be going really fast in the wrong kind of ways to end up making a car look like an Indy car that just hit the wall.
A person who happened to be on the same fateful street that Paul Walker was riding along in Santa Clarita, Calif. — in fact, Paul and one other man, the driver, had passed the witness less than a minute before losing control, spoke to HollywoodLife.com about the gruesome crash.
“We were missed getting hit by them by like 30 seconds,” the eyewitness recalls. The source can’t exactly say why the driver of the car lost control, though he does confirm that the crash was extremely violent and explosive.
“The car burst into flames immediately and split a tree in half,” the eyewitness says, adding that there seemed to be no stopping the fire that broke out. “The flames were way too big and fast-moving.”
“They couldn’t do anything,” he says, in reference to Paul and the other passenger.
Pictures from the scene of the accident also make that evident. The Porsche Paul was in was reduced to mere rubble after the fire was finally extinguished. And if the impact of the crash didn’t take Paul’s life, the explosion and fire that followed did.

I've never seen a single fast and furious movie but I'm saddened by the death of anyone young, especially when it involves cars. It's heart breaking that something I love so dearly can take a life and does so too often.

And yet every guy with a Bullit Mustang thinks they're Steve McQueen, but a lot of better actors have died. So what's your point? You just had to be "that" guy with the jerky comment.

So I'm guessing Carrera GT has engine in the back and fuel tank in the front. If you hit a pole head on at a relatively high force or even a medium rate of speed fuel tank ruptures and then it's just a matter of a spark and boom.

CNN was showing some pictures of black marks on the road across from where it happened, looked like someone doing donuts, but said they were still investigating whether they were part of the accident, or were already there.

Another good example of why public roads ARE NOT SUITABLE for what should be confined to controlled tracks and venues.
This can happen to anyone, very sad.

I know old timers wont get it.. it really was the movie that saved modern car culture and helped grow sema in to what it is now. Yeah the moves were kinda corny but they spoke to many of us growing up in the late 90s.
I remember leaving the theater. It was like a new world opened to us. Everyone was jazzed.

I was 9 when the first one came out. Didn't see it probably till I was 11 or 12 but I remember that movie specifically is what turned me onto cars.
