Death

Paul Walker and Roger Rodas, Walker’s financial advisor, leave an event on November 30, 2013, at 3:30 p.m. PST for Reach Out Worldwide, Walker’s charity event for Typhoon Haiyan victims. In Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, Rodas was traveling in Walker’s Porsche Carrera between 80 and 93 mph in a 45 mph zone on Hercules Street. According to reports, the location was a favorite for drifting automobiles. The automobile slammed into two trees and a concrete light post before catching fire. The males were stuck in the automobile and couldn’t be removed by onlookers. Burns and numerous injuries claimed the lives of Rodas and Walker. Police found no evidence of alcohol or other drugs in either man’s system, making the speed of the car and worn tires the main causes of the collision. Paul’s remains were cremated and interred at Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

In December 2014, Walker’s father brought a wrongful death lawsuit against Rodas’ estate. They reached an out-of-court agreement. Meadow Walker, Walker’s daughter, sued Porsche for wrongful death in September 2015. The model of the car allegedly included a number of design effects, according to the lawsuit. The legal system sided with Porsche in April 2016.
