Investigators have been unable to find evidence of a second car in the accident that killed popular "Fast & Furious" actor Paul Walker on Saturday in Los Angeles, California. The 2005 Porsche Carrera was being driven by Walker's racing team partner. Police are now focused on the speed the car was going when it crashed. Authorities received a phone call tip Sunday suggesting that another car was at the scene when the Porsche slammed into a light pole and burst into flames, but investigators have since ruled out the presence of a second car. A car enthusiast at the charity event Walker was at said he heard a blast in the distance before the car slammed into a light pole. Tire skid marks on the asphalt near the crash site, which indicate a car was doing doughnut spins, also are being looked at. It has not been concluded that they are related to the Walker wreck. Walker and Roger Rodas, who was believed to be driving, died in the wreck on Hercules Street. The autopsies on the remains taken from the wreckage are scheduled for Tuesday. Speed was definitely a factor in the crash.
This is a tragic story, however I find it a little weird that all of the attention is going towards Paul Walker when there was another driver in this particular accident and there are also many other fatal car accidents that go on every day that go unnoticed because the victims were not famous. I am sure that Paul Walker was a very good person, although I have never seen any movies he was in. I think that we need to be more considerate to other people that have lost friends or families in similar accidents.
