Paul Walker
Dead at 40
In Fiery Car Crash

Paul Walker -- best known for his role in "The Fast and the Furious" movies -- died Saturday afternoon after a single-car accident and explosion in Southern California ... TMZ has learned.

The accident happened in Santa Clarita -- north of Los Angeles -- and according to multiple sources connected to Paul ... the actor was in a Porsche when the driver somehow lost control and slammed into a post or a tree ... and then the car burst into flames.

Several of our sources -- some who are still at the scene of the accident -- tell us Paul and another person in the car were killed. Law enforcement is still on the scene, and we're told the L.A. County Coroner's Office is on the way.

At this point, it's unclear what caused the accident, or who was behind the wheel when it happened.

Paul was 40 years old.

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 GT. The accident happened during one of those test spins.

Story developing ...

Holy shit...very unfortunate events. I was a fan of his work in the Fast movies. It's a shame to see such a horrific accident, and at such a young age too. RIP Paul Walker.

Before anything gets out of control, this may not be true. TMZ might have fucked up. I'm hearing it's a hoax and now TMZ is down. Stay tuned...

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I hope it is a hoax for the sake of him being alive. It's pretty fucked up if people started this as a means to get people fooled.

Not to mention Fast 7 is about to start filming or is being filmed/editted. This would be a sick joke

Both TMZ and paulwalker.com are down

Confirmed. Paul Walker is dead.

Ryan Satin of TMZ posted on his Twitter account he has spoken to Paul Walker's rep. No hoax.

Yeah, his Twitter account, which has been verified, confirmed it. No idea who confirmed if on his Twitter account if he's dead, but they did.

Seems to be legit. What a shame. R.I.P.

I wonder what stage Fast 7 was in prior to this?

 

[Orobin Thor]

Anyone know what stage of development Fast 7 was in?
