    The driver of the vehicle was former race car driver Roger Rodas, Walker's friend and financial advisor.

    Fast and furious star left behind a 15 year old daughter, and just before Christmas.

    RIP

    The driver, a man to be admired in his own right, left behind two children. Tragic.

    I believe the road they crashed was closed, as it was a charity event giving rides for donations, held near the guy's shop.

    Hummm...
    Since he was a racer he should have remembered he wasn't in a race car on a race track. And he had a passenger.

    Will be interesting to read the final accident report.
