Paul Walker’s family blindsided by report

By Tribute News on March 28, 2014 | 4 Comments

Paul Walker's family were reportedly blindsided by the news that speed caused his fatal car crash. The Fast and the Furious actor perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas, who was driving when the Porsche Carrera GT they were traveling in lost control and crashed in California on November 30, and investigators released a report on Tuesday that concluded excessive speed caused the accident, as there was no evidence of mechanical failure. A source close to the late actor's family told gossip website TMZ.com that they feel totally betrayed by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department because they found out the cause of the crash via the media. The official report stated that Roger was driving between 81 and 94 MPH when he lost control going around a curve and smashed into a light pole, which had a speed limit sign of 45 MPH, before the vehicle burst into flames. The family are very upset that they didn't get an advance courtesy call before the findings were made public. The insider said the family waited months for the outcome of the investigation and feel that law enforcement acted coldly by not reaching out to them. Paul is survived by his parents, Paul Walker Sr. and Cheryl Walker, and his 15-year-old daughter Meadow Rain Walker, whom he named the sole beneficiary of his $25 million fortune in his will.

   Really? This was obvious at Day 1.

   Car goes fast + pole = car burst into flames.

   The family can’t be that naive to think he was cruising at 45 mph. That or they were hoping the drive was DUI so they could sue the other family for damages/losses.

   @Zuh : What makes you think they would have sued them?

   If you read all the story you probably would have THEN understood that they were upset about not being notified of the official findings. NOT that speed was involved…
