The Fast and the Furious star, Paul Walker dies in car crash

Paul Walker, the much loved star of the film series, The Fast and the Furious, passed away in a car crash in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California. The actor, who was travelling as a passenger in a red Porsche Carrera GT, was returning from a charity event, when the car crashed into a pole and burst into flames. Paul’s friend, Roger Rodas, a former racer, who was driving the car, also died in the crash.

Forty year old Paul Walker, who played the role of Brian O’Conner, a law enforcement official, has acted in five of the six movies in the Fast and Furious series. This year, he had been working on the seventh edition, but now, the future of the series is in doubt as his death will have to be written into the script. In doing so, one the franchise’s most important characters will be lost.
