Karan Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Very tragic, damn. RIP Paul :( Paul's rep just released a statement about his death, and says "He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives." Witnesses on the scene said the car was Paul's ... but also said he was in the passenger seat. Sources close to Paul tell us he was in Santa Clarita for a car show to support the Philippines typhoon relief effort, and had been taking friends out for rides in his new Porsche Carrera GT. The accident happened during one of those test spins. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1533818.1385868361!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/front1n-6.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/01/article-2516303-19BF938300000578-301_964x704.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/01/article-2516303-19BF93FE00000578-655_964x680.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Scags Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What shenanigans? The accident took place about 300 yards from where the event was held, and the posted speed limit in that spot was 45 MPH. Still speculation but you're going to tell me that there was not significant speed involved in this crash, especially seeing what that car looked like? Come on. I'm not heartless and I feel for him, his family, and the driver, but having a Porsche and being an actor doesn't give you the license to be a jerk off on the road and put others at risk.

He wasn't driving and I don't think it was his Porsche. I also feel really bad for the guy and anyone who cared about him, because I understand the thrill of a fast car so well and I know people can get carried away by it, but I was surprised at the wreck, because that's a Carrera GT and you need to drive it damn fast to wreck it like that. This was probably some really irresponsible driving. Yeah, one of the most ironic deaths in Hollywood I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontonyr Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Sad to hear about such a tragic accident, but at the same time it affects me very little. He never acted in a single film that I enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I loved the Fast & Furious series. Just fantastic action flicks. It's a real shame to lose him so young and so senselessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was probably some really irresponsible driving. Exactly yeah. From the pictures I've seen, that section was before a 90 degree turn with a 15 mph speed limit posted. Plus you have those raised lane markers which can be very slippery. Now I'm sure you don't have to slow down all the way to 15 mph to take that turn safely. But from the looks of the impact, the driver must've been driving really irresponsibly, probably 90 mph+. Even though the driver was a former professional driver (Pirelli World Challenge Series), that's highly irresponsible driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 RIP, guy made me like the Fast and Furious series. Although, I see people saying he was a great actor. Not sure about great, but yeah...still sad to see someone lose a life at the age of 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertec69 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So he let his friend behind the wheel of a super car that is known to be very hard to control, let alone by someone who probably had never driven such a car. To late now, both died for no good reason, the lesson in this, never let your friends behind the wheel of your supercar that has never had any experience driving such a machine, let alone in a public road. Thank God he did not kill anyone else. RIP. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
