Paul Walker dead following car accident

The car wasn't 100% perfect, and so the story that there were fluids on the street prior to the skid marks doesn't sound too far fetched. Maybe they were being reckless, maybe they weren't, I'm not sure. But the car wasn't in perfect working order prior to driving it.

No amount of fluid on the street, mechanical woes, or other issues will cause a car, any car, to end up like that Porsche ended up....if driving at normal speeds. At the posted 45mph limit that street had, you could drive that car into a concrete wall and live through it.

Can't argue with that....

I just saw the scene on a report on TV, the speed limit was 35, not 45... Even at 35 you can still screw up enough in a high performance car and be killed. It happened on Sheridan a few years ago, 37 MPH, driver killed (I know the Lakewood traffic investigator who investigated the accident).

You can also be killed by falling in your bathtub....but you cannot, no matter how hard you try, do this to a car at 45mph:



If if boiled down to those two fatally wrapping some carbon fiber around a telephone pole, or hurting a single bystander, I'm glad it went the way it did.

But a drone could do that at 45mph.

This guy was doing less then 50mph according to the police report. Crazy things can happen.

One terrible driver in the black car.

Yes he wasn't going very fast but also understand that his car did what it should have in that impact. The "tub" was still intact, the rear subframe snapped off it, but the tub remained in place. In order for you to crack a CF tub in half you need to be moving fast.

It broke the same way, right in front of the "K member". The bodies were still in the "tub" and front half of the car. As for cracking any laminate, they are not strong torsionally.
