Paul Walker was one of my favorite actors of all time. While I know he passed away in a car accident, I can’t remember the details. What kind of car was Paul Walker driving?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The world was sad to lose Paul Walker in a tragic car accident in 2013. But contrary to popular belief, Walker was not behind the wheel when the accident occurred.
Roger Rodas, a friend of Walker’s and a fellow car racing enthusiast, was driving a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT when he lost control and hit a tree.
The car immediately burst into flames and both men perished in the accident. According to the police report, the vehicle was traveling over 100 mph in a 45 mph zone.
