Too Fast Too Furious: Paul Walker

The supercar that actor Paul Walker was in when he died was racing another vehicle at speeds of more than 100mph when the fatal crash occurred, witnesses claim.

Police are investigating tip-offs from possible witnesses that the Porsche's owner Roger Rodas, who also perished in the crash, was in the middle of a street race at the time, TMZ reports.
Other reports today claim the former Pirelli World Challenge race car driver was going 100mph just moments before the crash despite traveling through a 45mph zone.

'Though the investigation is in its early stages, investigators from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department believe the Porsche was going over 100 mph,' a source close to the investigation told Radar.
Detectives are now appealing for anyone who may have video of the car to come forward.

It is understood the fatal incident took place in an area popular with street racers.
The new twist in the case comes as Paul Walker Snr, the Fast & Furious film actor's father, paid an emotional tribute to his son, saying: 'His heart was so big. I was proud of him every day of his life.'

Choking on his tears, Mr Walker told website JustJared: 'I'm just glad, that every time I saw him, I told him I loved him. And he would say the same thing to me.'

Describing how friends and relatives had rallied around to support the family in their time of grief, he added: 'You can’t beat friends at a time like this. His brothers are all taking it pretty hard.'
